It will not allow the dog to break free and be lost, so it must be fastened as tightly as possible. Sometimes a quality door can save his life altogether, because it can swing open on a busy road.

Not all pets immediately realize that the owner wants to put him in a carrier, or simply do not want to climb into a close device. You can lure him with a toy, a treat, you should also put a blanket on the bottom. Let the baby feel inside as in his little house. Remember to praise him when he climbs inside and sits in it.

Let the pet see only the bottom with a blanket and try to get used to the new stove bench. At the stage of training, behave as calmly as possible so that your fussy mood is not transmitted to the dog. It is better to introduce her in advance when carrying enough time before traveling.

At the next stage, you can leave the carrier only without the door, so that the dog calmly enters and leaves it. Then attach it to the place and the pet will open it with its paw.
