How do you get your dog to go in it?

Try putting his food and water in it. That way he will have a reason to go in. I would remove the door for a period of time which would make him more comfortable.

We use it for stray cats outdoors, under a open patio. We were able to put a heater inside that plugged into an outdoor outlet. 3 strays we feed wintered nights in the igloo as it gets cold in the winter in Colorado. They wouldn't go in if we went out the sliding glass door to the patio and if they were in they would scatter. But after we went back in the house they would return to the igloo to keep warm

It's a wonderful dog house, but try as miight, our dog has never taken to it. Treats, her favorite blanket-all to no avail. Some dogs have a different concept of comfort- ours goes under the deck instead!

1.) If you got the "add-on" door flap, don't install it until your pet gets used to going in and out of the house. 2.) ALWAYS put your pet's food IN the house - and leave it there. It's sort of like kids, if your pet is hungry, they'll eat.....even if it means going into this new, strange (to them) shelter! Hang in there and good luck!! : )

Hasn't been a problem, but if it was I would try a treat or a toy tossed into the space. How old is the Dog? Ours is a 5 month old puppy. Hope this helps. We also purchased the pad for the bottom it is thick and comfortably fits under tha front edge she has never even tried to pull it out.

there is a strap to fasten to your dog's harness or collar. you may strap in your pet or leave it free to jump in or out.

Your dog probably just isn't too into it :) if it's too hard you can cut the little pieces at the opening a little so that it's easier?

Start with really small treats - maybe even break up those bacon flavored kind so they really smell. I have a larger dog so it is easy for him to knock it around. Hope this helps

Lots of treats! I have two dogs that use the stairs. One got it right away with treats and the other one it took a few days. Just use treats to coax and the dog will eventually use them. Hold the treat initially and then put one on a stair where they have to actually reach for it by moving up one step. Eventually you will get the dog to move further and further up. Just be patient. :)

The butterfly opening requires a bit of weight to activate the step peddle, so unless your dog has some weight and genius, I doubt he will be able to get in there.

It is not difficult to do. I have a 4 month old puppy (Blood hound-50lbs). Even when it is secure, the side is flexible. I push the middle seat forward, push the end (opening) out to allow the opening to face me...and let Duke jump up and in. It takes practice, but if your dog is used to riding, it is no different then them jumping in and into a seat. Good Luck!

We have this can, and *most* of the time it keeps him out (a mini-Aussie). However, even when it stays shut, he has managed to remove the bag (leaving the trash inside the can). He sometimes gets it open by pulling up on the back of the can. I've come downstairs to find he popped the back off with the lock still in place.Of course, it depends on what is in the can as to how determined he is to get into it.

It's not long enough to allow our dog to move. Maybe our dog is too big for it?

The key is to take the tension off the cord that tightens up around the dog after you have put the tension on. They it just pulls over his head and out from under his legs. Getting it on right is harder. You have to make sure the leg loops are in the right place when you slip it on and that the ring with the pull cord is up and in the right direction. It takes a little practice, but it's a great harness. My dogs like it and willing help me get them in it--probably because they know that means they're getting out! Hope that helps.

The smaller hole gets slipped over their head. Then you pick up the right leg and put it in that hole. Then you clasp the harness closed on the left side, behind that leg. Easy peasy. Once my dog became familiar with it, she would even wiggle her head in and throw her right leg at me. :)

NO. The little dog door has a plastic panel that slides in and locks the opening. Can't get in or out through it. We have a 8lb puppy, mini doxie, that has no trouble getting in or out through the door. At night we lock, so she can't go out and raccoons and foxes can't get in.

I have a Pitbull that cannot get past it.But he is not a solid 8 pounds. He is more than 60 pounds soaking wet.Little dogs are amazing at getting into things.Good Luck.Steve

No, it is one of three ways for your pet to get into the stoller. The black thing above the front wheel is a step, then your pet climbs through the hole. The other ways to enter are through the back and from the top (the mesh window opens up).

Pull up the trap door from behind and the animal will run out. Stay calm and try to keep the animal calm after you transport it to the place you want to let it go.

Hope you got it right. Hold the silver part so that you are seeing the heart shape upright. Fix the harness so that it is not twisted. Then your dog's head should fit through between the back and then front harness. My dog actually got used to it so that even when I use other harness she tries to stick her head out for me to put the harness through her head even though the other ones don't required that.

Just guessing here, but I would think you would have to first release the strap from the front headrest in order to let the dog in. Once the dog is in you could replace the strap over the headrest. I think this should work!
