Oliverscatventures

First we invested in a good bike carrier which we put in the living room for a week or two (just like we did with the backpack). We encouraged Oliver to get into the carrier and rewarded him with some treats. Once we knew he was comfortable in the carrier we attached the carrier on the bike and put Oliver in. Again, he got some treats. Before we started cycling we made sure Oliver would stay inside the carrier by securing the little strap to his harness. We also attach a small leash to his harness, just to be sure.

The first few bike rides only lasted a few minutes. We wanted Oliver to have positive associations with bike rides. Once we noticed that Oliver absolutely loved it, we went on longer cycling adventures.
