Useful Tips

How to get Started

1.    Try the Walk-In Method! That is to say, lay the bag flat on the ground, get your pooch to stand over it and then fold it around the body.

2.    Help your dog associate the bag with a positive experience by using treats, praise, and patience. 

3.    If your environment is full of distractions, take your dog alone to a calm and quiet place and try there. 

4.    Do an activity that is easy the first few tries in the carrier to get used to carrying the extra weight of a live animal on your back.  

5.    Listen to your dog's cues while in the carrier to determine how long you should using it each time. We recommend using the carrier 30-45 minutes at a time with 20 minute breaks. 

6.    Use the carrier ONLY for activities you feel 100% comfortable and safe to participate in. Be aware of your own strength and the additional weight of the dog. We do not assume any liability for accidents of any kind.

Warning !! Before your buy a Dog Backpack Carrier

There are a few things to know before you buy one. If your dog has a pre-existing medical condition, you should consult your vet before using a Dog Backpack Carrier. Afterall, you're putting them in a vertical position for a period of time.

We do not recommend keeping your dog in the bag for more than 50 minutes at a time; it's really geared toward short train or shopping commutes, Short walks and bicycle rides. You should also take into account your own health and ability. Carrying your Pooch on your back for stretches of time isn't easy.
