| How do I get my puppy to like her stroller? Right now I use a two-seater bike trailer/jogger stroller. Its pretty big and Eva freaks out in it. Even with toys and treats. Is is too big? It's fully screened and we put a blanket in there too. Would something smaller work better? Does she just need more time to get used to it? Walks are not enjoyable this way. Any tricks to try??

| When I got my stroller, I put my babies in it and pushed them around the living room so they'd be in a familiar environment. I did this for several days before we actually went outside. They still don't love it but they stay pretty calm. Hope this helps!

| Thank you, that is a great idea!! I have decided to get a smaller one(one that easily fits in the car) and when I get it that is what I will do. I never would have thought of that.

| We got our stroller and left it set up in the living room so they could check it out and they love it now! Good luck!

| Daisy has 2 strollers. Her AT3 is for exercise walking and the Sportster is smaller for traveling and going into stores. The smaller one is set up in the house where she can play in the basket underneith (wht toys and treats) and she likes to sleep in the upper part like a bassinet or sit n it when we are watching TV or at the computer. Very cute and everyone laughs and rolls their eyes! Make it a fun thing before you take it out on walks. They will claim it as theirs and not be afraid of it. Also, I take her for a good walk before going out so she will be tired. Otherwise she will jump around and want out to play. Have fun! |

| You might try putting her dog bed in the stroller. I know one of my guys isn't happy in the car unless he has his bed to curl up in. Somehow he feels safer in his bed than just on a blanket. Michele :-) |
