Excited as you may be to ride around with your dog safely ensconced in a bicycle dog carrier, doggy might not be as eager as you might have hoped to be in a confined space without you first training it to enjoy it or at least give it a shot. First off, introduce your dog to the basket by firstly placing it in it without mounting it on the bike. Walk around with it in the pet bike basket speaking soothingly and reassuring it should it get frightened and attempt to jump out.
Next, mount the basket on the bike and push it slowly not riding all the while petting and soothing your pet till it relaxes and gets used to the bike’s movement. Once that is accomplished, it is time for an actual ride. Keep the rides slow and short as you break your dog into the world of cycling. As your dog acclimatizes, you will see it begin to enjoy the ride, taking in the sights and sounds as you go along. As part of the process, introduce your pet to a bump. It is not always smooth riding. Go over a few small bumps and watch as your securely harnessed dog reacts. Talking softly to it, keep it calm. Riding slowly, build upon the length and speed of the ride till your dog gets fully settled in.
