How do I train my dog to ride in the basket?

Excited as you may be to ride around with your dog safely ensconced in a bicycle dog carrier, doggy might not be as eager as you might have hoped to be in a confined space without you first training it to enjoy it or at least give it a shot. First off, introduce your dog to the basket by firstly placing it in it without mounting it on the bike. Walk around with it in the pet bike basket speaking soothingly and reassuring it should it get frightened and attempt to jump out.

How to choose the correct dog bike seat size?

Bicycle dog carriers typically come with weight limits letting you know how much weight it can carry. Weigh your dog first before picking out a dog seat. Look out also for features such as reinforced steel frames for added support.

Will these dog baskets fit on any bicycle?

Dog bike seats can fit well on most bikes but even better on a hybrid or utility bike. The logic behind it is pretty simple. These two models feature more space between the tire in the front and the handlebars. That space not only makes for a perfect nesting spot for a dog bike seat but also reduces the possibility of the seat getting entangled in the brake cables. That being said, as the dog basket for bikes is designed to hang off the bicycle’s rack, every bike can carry one.
