For stomping around in the woods, consider something like this:

If you need to travel long-ish distances to get your dog some exercise, then forget about turning stability and go with something like above, value mobility over downhill skills, and get your kicks at the resort later on. Plastic boots are way overkill for anything that's flat and groomed, there is no need to trudge them around when a lighter setup will do the job, especially if it's mostly flatish.

Note that the above setup is robust enough to stomp through the trees with and light enough to be tolerable on a groomed XC trail. Folks who ski just XC would consider this a "heavy" setup for groomed trails.
