Poor Lucy has never been in a tote or bag. I feel like she is missing out.

She still doesn't love the car even when we are going someplace fun like the park or a trail!

Where do you guys take your little ones in their bag?

I take Tila to the pet and feed store, the owner just loves her there. Petsmart, the hardware store. When we go visiting friends and family. She likes to walk, but sometimes she likes to jump in her carrier and lay in there when we're visiting. It's comforting for her.

Yeah that's the secret, taking them to places they enjoy, Joey just loves Petsmart, he's so happy to walk down the aisles and acts like he owns the place. So many people only take their dogs in the car when they go to the vet, and that can set up a bad connection with carriers and the car.

Yes good associations with crates and bags are key. Even my cat knows when his crate comes out we are going someplace good. With the small ones, when we pack for a trip we have their carriers open by the front door, while we stage all the stuff we take for camping. The small ones get so excited running in and out of their crates, the big dogs literally prance and dance in place, so we've learnt to load them up first in our van.
Razzle was trained to a crate first then a purse/bag carrier when I had to fly with him. No problems at all.
