| LOVE my Kwigy Bo Bag, my girls HATE it...HELP! Can you believe it? I love my bag (large Alexa)...the girls hate it . It has taken a while to even get them to sit in it...just try to zip it up and they go nuts trying to jump out. I have given them treats and said all the good girl stuff and nothing seems to work. Any suggestion? I got it zipped once and had to unzip really fast, thought they were going to tear my beautiful bag up. |

| Maybe if you spray some calming spray in it before you put them in? |

| What I did is I went slow. Anything freaks Kaji out. I put my Alex bag on my bed, wrapped him in a blankie and put him to bed in the bag. It was open, and I let him sleep in there as long, or as little as he wanted. He eventually slept in it all night. Next step was to take him out in it. I put his harness on and clipped him to the bag. I didn't close it until he figured out going inside was his safe place, both flaps were open of course. Maybe you could try something similar. I had time to do this since I bought my bag to be able to take him to TN for Thanksgiving, and my bag arrived late Oct, early Nov if I remember correctly.

| What if you just leave it open and lying on the floor for a few days and frequently lay treats in it. This way they have to get in it to get their treat and become more use to it. |

| I forgot! I always leave new carry bags out for Olive on the floor where she can check them out. That way, she doesn't cause much of a fuss when I put her in one. I haven't tried zipping her up yet though, she doesn't usually stay in the bags for very long because she likes to be held. I guess I spoil her too much |

| I put treats in and then set them in it. Let them get the treat and then they can jump out if they want. Then do it again, clip the strap to there harness with the bag open, and pick up the bag and then give another treat. Just go really slow make it a game. the first few trips in the bag should be very positive and also short so that way they get the idea that they get to go somewhere fun, and they slowly get used to time in the bag. Copper doesn't really care for the Kwigy when it is all zipped up, but Maddie will go as long as I want and she will just lay in it quietly. She has alot of room in this bag and I think that makes it more comfortable for her.
