– It is strongly recommended that the pet carrier as a window or an opening so that your dog can see outside. Note that if the opening does not close, the bag should offer a clip inside to attach your dog there.

How to introduce a pet carriers to your puppy or your dog?

  1. Let the pet carrier accessible for your dog to go by himself.
  2. Do not hesitate to put treats, a bone or even his favorite blanket in the bag to help associate the space positively.
  3. Find a word or a short phrase that you will use when you want your dog to get in or out of the pet carrier.
  4. To get your dog use to the pet carrier, made several small short trips.
  5. Always let your dog out of his carrier by himself.

Special note

A common mistake is to let people approach your dog when he or she is in the carrier because during a social interaction, your dog must always have the possibility to feel free to go away. The carrier does not give him this possibility. If you want your dog to socialise just let it get out of the carrier.

Finally, take advantage of spring to bring your dog everywhere with you. Don’t forget to let him play in the grass. Happy spring!
