You should start by slowly introducing the stroller to your dog and giving them some treats while they’re in it. Additionally, dog-appeasing pheromone (DAP) spray can be used to calm your pup down.
Just Don’t Replace Socialization With Strollers
Even though senior or disabled dogs can benefit from the stimulation of strollers, remember that your dog should still be socialized otherwise.
If you only use a stroller, you can prevent your pup from exploring their surroundings as they normally would on a typical walk. This may increase anxiety and reactivity.
So, don’t overdo strolls if your dog is mobile enough for a short daily walk. These walks can be more about sniffing scents and building their confidence as opposed to traveling long distances.
On a similar note, canine obesity is a real problem, and gentle walking is a critical way to manage your dog’s weight while strengthening their heart and muscles.
Strollers shouldn’t replace all physical activity in your pet’s routine but rather serve as an alternative in moderation.
