Before you attempt to use a pet stroller with your dog, you'll want to get them used to it ahead of time. It's a good idea to start off in the house so that your dog has minimal distractions. Give them time to sniff and explore the stroller. Keep the wheels locked at first so that the stroller won't move, and when your pup seems a little more at ease, unlock the wheels and slowly push it around. Once your dog seems used to the stroller, carefully pick them up and place them inside. Don't push the stroller around quite yet – give them a big of time to adjust to sitting in it. You may want to give them a treat or a favorite toy. After a little bit of time, slowly try pushing the stroller around the room. Your dog may be nervous at first and this is normal. It may take a few tries before they adjust to riding comfortably. When you notice your dog acting more relaxed and content as you push them in the stroller, you can start to try short outdoor walks up and down your street or in quiet areas.

Let your dog get used to the dog buggy slowly. Don’t put a nervous dog or cat in the buggy at once or force them to stay seated. Take the dog stroller out of the box and place on the floor. Leave the dog stroller collapsed on the floor. Let your dog sniff and explore the dog buggy. You can easily tell from your pet’s reaction whether they find the dog buggy a little scary, or not at all. Always stay with them though. Let your dog sniff the unfolded dog stroller, keep an eye on your pet while they sniff the cabin and wheels. Put familiar objects in the dog stroller, take a blanket, bed or pillow belonging to your pet and put it in the dog buggy. Lift your dog into the dog stroller or entice them to jump into the buggy themselves with a treat. If your pet does not cooperate, stop and try again later. Give them another chance to smell the stroller without forcing your pet to sit in the stroller.

To ensure a smooth and successful transition, it is important to start the introduction process gradually. Allowing your dog to explore the stroller in a familiar environment, preferably indoors or in your backyard. This will help them become familiar with the new ‘thing’ without feeling overwhelmed. Start by introducing the pram to your dog in a neutral and positive manner. Place the stroller in an open area and allow your dog to investigate it at their own pace. You can also place some treats or their favorite toys inside the stroller to create positive associations. Associate Positive Experiences: Gradually create positive associations with the pram by using treats, praise, and rewards. Next, begin introducing your dog to the pram by taking them on short walks in it around the house or in a familiar and quiet outdoor area. This will help them get used to the movement and feel of the doggy pram.
