Page 5: Teach Your Dog How To Use Walkin' Wheels
Teach Your Dog How to Use Walkin’ Wheels ® We created the Walkin’ Wheels® with the intention that you will adjust the wheelchair, put your pet in it, and in a few moments watch him or her running and playing again. It can happen that way, but it doesn’t always. - Page 6 1. When starting this process we suggest that you use the dog’s favor- ite treats to reward your dog for walking forward. You won’t need to keep using these treats every day, just in the beginning of the train- ing process. A hungry dog is a motivated dog! Work with your dog before you have fed him a meal.
