When I was introducing the pet palace carrier for my motorcycle to Monty I brought it into the kitchen and put it on the counter. He hung out in there while I cooked and got used to being inside it. Mind you he was tethered inside so he couldn't just jump out (which he would have.) I find normalizing something "scary" in a total chill space helps them know that they are safe when they are out in the world.
Perhaps feed a couple of her meals or give her favourite toys? I stayed with Monty and focused on him the first couple times I put him in it. |
