I took her out yesterday afternoon with some treats on hands. I took the top enclosure off the stroller. It's open just like a baby buggy would be. When she tried to climb out the sides, I gave her a treat and told her to stay. She started laying down some but would get up and look at me for a treat. Would give her one. It's not going to take her long to get the hang of things. I'm going go take her out 3 times day for the next week (weather permitting). I've also set her leather carrier out on the living room floor (open top and side) and throw a few pieces of treat in side. At first she didn't want to go inside (put 1 just inside and another just little further into the carrier) and let her go at her own pace to see that it wasn't scary. What we won't do for our babies!!!
