No flag? And what if pup sees a squirrel and hops? Yikes! I'm planning to use my Burley trailer, which has hauled kids, groceries, and many other kinds of loads. I have a boxer pup who is nervous about riding in the box, and I'm a bit worried about him getting sick back there, especially on longer rides. We recently got rid of our car though, so we'll have to make it work. This life is always an adventure! That wicker basket doesn’t look safe to me. No flag? And what if pup sees a squirrel and hops?

It's not PC in Boulder to view your dogs as just DOGS, but go read a Caesar Millan book and it all makes sense. You set your dog up for feeling that they're the dominant one when they're treated like humans, or royalty. It sets you up for many other problems related to them feeling they're the one in control. Behavioral issues. Ironically (to our minds, at least), dogs want to be submissive, and when they are, they respect the owners' will to keep running/riding, etc. The are submissive and therefore will obey. It's not a terrible thing. I’m sorry, man, but dog’s just aren’t meant to be pulled around and chaperoned.
