If you plan to take your dog on plane rides, do not wait until the last minute to begin training for a successful flight. Buy an airline approved carrier – either a soft-sided one for pets less than 15 lbs traveling in cabin or a hard sided crate for pets traveling in cargo. Introduce your pet to travel in the carrier only for trips that are pleasurable. Want to go to the park? Well, hop in your carrier for the ride and we’ll go. Want to go to doggy play group? You hop in and we’re off. And make sure you include a soft blanket and a toy to make the ride comfortable and fun. (When training for air travel, avoid giving a treat in the carrier since a treat is not advisable in the air.) |
Ha ha… I was just online around and took a glance at these reviews. I can’t believe that there’s still this much attention. Thanks for writing about this.
