Start by leaving the door open and allowing your pet to slowly enter in of its own accord. Then start closing the door and leaving it closed for longer and longer periods of time. Then try taking the pet carrier for a short spin in the car. The carrier should never be used as a punishment but rather be seen by your pet as a safe, positive place.

Good to know
- Your dog should be able to stand without ducking, turn round easily and lie flat on its side in the crate.
- Check the crate’s inside dimensions, not just the outside, and add a few centimetres to your dog’s measurements.
- For a car crate, measure the boot opening height and the slope of the rear window as well as the floor.
Common questions
Is it a legal requirement to restrain my dog in the car?
The Highway Code (rule 57) says dogs should be suitably restrained so they cannot distract you or be hurt if you stop quickly, for example with a harness, carrier, cage or dog guard. Breaking the rule is not an offence in itself, but a loose dog that distracts you can lead to a careless driving charge.
Can I leave my dog in a crate all day?
No. A crate is for short periods, overnight sleeping and travel, not for keeping a dog shut in for a working day. Dogs need regular toilet breaks, exercise and company. If you are out for long hours, look at a dog walker or day care.
