Anywhere I have been, Couver has gone with me. I am trying to train Khloe to ride in the bag with Couver so they both can go. They might get a bit heavy, but I figure it will be good for short trips when I need to run in somewhere.

Basically I use positive reinforcement when it comes to bag training. I give Couver a treat after a trip for staying quite. During longer trips, I will sneak him a treat in his bag occasionally. I would suggest being patient and training him to the bag slowly by taking him into pet friendly places and allowing him to see that he gets to go if he is good.

Hopefully this helps
How old was Couver when you started? Fizz is 4 months and I don't have a bag yet - but see how it would be really useful, especially when traveling.
