She has alway sbeen terrified of the dog purse or carrier. No matter how hard I try I cannot get her to stay in one without freaking out. I go ther at 4 months old and started trying to slowly train her then by putting her in the purse/carrier a few times a day, every time she would just freak out. She is now 11 months old and the only way she likes to be carried is up in my arms. This also is a problem with getting her to go in a dog carrier if I want to go on trips etc. She starts yelping and trashing around if I put her in a crate or carrier. Any tips for training a good purse/carrier riding doggie??

Some dogs just don't like it. We tried to get Chip to ride in a doggie purse thing and he would FLIP out. I think he is claustrophobic. You may just have one that's happier to run and walk rather than be carried.
