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/ 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 favorite 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 training process. A hungry dog is a motivated dog! Work with your dog before you have fed him/her a meal.
