I must admit I'm a bag freak, and doggie bags are my indulgence
(dont ask how many bags Violet has) heh-heh. Violet LOVES going around in her bags, and when Olive was alive, they loved being in the bag together (ofcourse the bag had to be bigger for 2 dogs).
From day one with both dogs, I took them around in their bags. Violet feels so secure in her bag, she would rather be in it, than walk on a leash.
From the time Violet was a puppy, I put her in her bag for a few minutes every day (even if I was just walking around the house), so that she would get accustomed to it. I would also leave her bag opened on the floor, and she would go in it on her own, and go to sleep (like a dog bed).
Now, whenever she sees me getting dressed, she'll immediately run to her bag and jump in.
I travel a lot, and I take Violet with me, so it was important that she felt comfortable and safe in her bag.
If the dog is smaller, I think it's a safe way to bring them around, especially if you are in a crowded or busy place. |
