YT Addict | Sneaking him in... So after having Alex for 10 years, I still haven't really tried to sneak him any where with me. I am so afraid to get caught, kicked out or yelled at. Yes, I am a scaredy cat. Do you all have any suggestions on how to bring my little boy with me wherever I go?? Thanks!

| The only place I have snuck my gang into has been a few hotels...only because the hotels that were pet friendly back in the day were dives, and no way my yorkies or I was staying there!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | If your yorkie is small enough for a Purse Bag they make some for doggies. Vented panels and all. When I travel, I put him in that and he comes into restaurants with me, but he is also very quiet too in his bag. Haven't got caught out yet

| I have a purse bag and my baby goes nearly everywhere with me. I take her to Wal-Mart Target, the mall, clothing stores, and even logans and Texas roadhouse. Some see her and some don't but they haven't made us leave yet (fingers crossed) ;-) |

| I've only brought Sakura in to Barnes and Nobles on the sly. It was a quick run into there and the only two people who noticed I had her in her bag I knew them. But I'm too much of a chicken to try much else. I love shopping at the little antique stores in old town because they let me bring her in. |

| I have brought Couver almost everywhere. The only places I don't try to sneak him are courthouses and other places where they scan your bags. He has been to: -Restaurants -Bars -Pubs -Strippers -Stores -Movies 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

| I have only had Milo for a few weeks but I have already sneaked him in several restaurants. I bought a purse bag and I walk in without saying anything. They didn't either! I was nervous about it at first. But since I have been doing it and he is still a puppy, he has become very accustomed to being in there. He falls asleep right away. |

| I have a cute bag that looks like a huge purse. Tina goes everywhere I go. Shopping, movies, traveling, fishing, museums, you name it...Tina's been there. She's like my american express...I never leave home with out her. She loves her bag..and goes in it even if we arent going anywhere. Its her safe place. I was lucky and never had to train her to stay in it. The minute I put the bag next to her she jumped right in. Finding a bag that doesnt look like a pet kennel is the best kind! |

| I know... I'm bad. We travel a lot and I don't like leaving him anywhere. I know some people don't agree with it, but oh well

| Couver was a rehome and I got him at almost 5 months. I started bag training him right away and he really took to it. He will often just sit on his bag because it is his safe place. Just be consistent and praise, praise, praise!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I skip anyplace that serves or prepares food because of health regulations (I don't want to get them in trouble for my actions). Other than that we've gone to the mall, Barnes & Nobel, Home Depot, Lowes, JoAnn's, Michaels and Best Buy with either Rhett or Scarlett. I'm lucky that both of mine think the carrier is a fun place to be. I do have a couple of "purse only" toys that help keep things interesting for them.
