I will probably get some flak here about my opinion, but I feel the only time to pick them up outside is if there is a danger (a big dog, etc.). I've never experienced Bailey wanting to be carried when we are outside. She enjoys her walks. |
Most people on YT who own strollers or carriers do not use them to the exclusion of walking their dogs. There are times when the stroller or carrier is convenient and safer, for instance, when the dog has had enough walking or is at a crowded event and risks getting stepped on. Strollers make a nice resting place and refuge from the sun on a long outing.
