"The Trek: An Epic of Survival (The Darwin's World Series)" by Jack L Knapp
    https://www.amazon.com/Trek-Epic-Survival-Darwins-World/dp/1719878196/

Book number two of a five book science fiction series.  I read the well
printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback that I
bought new on Amazon.  I have bought book three in the series for
reading soon.

In the 25th century, humanity has solved all problems and even created
machines for time travel and parallel universe travel.  But, they caused
a new problem, humanity is dying out as people have lost the will to live.

So the future scientists are bringing forward dying people from the 20th
century, restoring their bodies to their 20 year old age, and
transferring them to a Earth 4428, a parallel world going through the
end of the Pleistocene ice age.  With nothing but a few tools and the
clothes on their backs.  Survive or die in the primitive conditions of
what will be the southern USA but there are lions, big cats, mammoths,
bisons, dire wolves, deer, elk, short face bears, grizzlies, etc.  And
chest deep snow in the winters.

Matt and several others were deposited by the futurists into what will
be the eastern portion of Texas.  They have decided to move to the
western side of Texas and closer to the Gulf of Mexico to hopefully
reduce the number of slaver attackers and the terrible winters.  But
moving hundreds of miles using human powered travoises and carts is not
easy without roads and bridges.  And constantly watching for predators
or prey to eat.

My rating:  5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating:  4.4 out of 5 stars (306 reviews)

I forgot to mention that if you liked Heinlein's "Tunnel In The Sky",
you will probably like this series.

What, no dogs to pull the traverses? 

But I suppose which Pleistocene ice age was being used. According to
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene#Major_events] (scroll
down!), there are four choices (in N America):
Nebraskan
Kansan
Illinoian
Wisconsian

If it an early-enough period, I suppose there might be no dogs.

The dogs got eaten by the sabertooth tigers and the bears.

BTW, Earth 4428, Darwin's World, does not have any native humans.  Only
animals, bugs, reptiles, etc.  It was chosen for settling rebuilt humans
for this reason.

So, the theory here is that no dogs survived the Pleistocene? Or is it
that they were domesticated later on?

Please keep in mind that /you/ are the one who said it was at the end
of (one of the) Pleistocene ice ages. So no moving the goalposts to
the far future.

In our timeline, dogs were domesticated *during* the Pleistocene.

You haven't met my mom's dog.  It could benefit greatly from domestication.

There were no humans on Earth 4428 until the very end of the
Pleistocene.  Almost all of the other thousands of Earth planets in
other universes had humans on them.
