Carrying aid for puppies/young dogs because of stairs?
Hey, I have a question for the dog experts among you
We want to get a dog next year and preferably a cavalier or a labrador, or even a lab
However, there is a problem
We live on the third floor, and a Labrador isn't allowed to climb stairs until he's at most six months old.
Now my question:
Would it be okay or reprehensible to get a carrier for large dogs to be able to carry him especially in the last months
At 5 months a Lab already weighs 18 kg and as a woman it seems impossible to go to the 3rd floor
Has anyone had any experience with this or perhaps had the idea themselves?
Many thanks in advance

You can do that, of course, but the dog should be used to it slowly.
Nevertheless, I must say that I do not think it is a good idea to live on the third floor and to make a puppy. On the one hand, this becomes more complicated for the Stubenreinheit – because if a puppy has to be carried, then immediately, there will probably also be some “unfortunate” at home or in the stairwell, and on the other hand one has to say a growing dog and so many stairways, that goes on to the joints, even if one carries the dog in the first months of life.
Hello,
Got my Rotti in the two. Stock must bear at the beginning, the dog does not increase rapidly, so you get used to the weight slowly. I am also a woman and could carry him until he had about 25kg. Well, we’re not drawn when he was 8 months… I couldn’t wear it anymore… the eyes of the neighbors then I won’t forget 😂
Cavalier is a breeder, I’d take a break from it.
And no, it’s not reprehensible to get a carrying aid. As long as the dog is correspondingly positive and slowly used to it, and is not simply put in and carried.
A Labrador on the third floor is not a good idea. You don’t just have to think about the puppies and the young dog time, but also about the fact that the dog can get sick, can be hurt and he’ll be old at some point. You want to keep this dog up the stairs and, above all, carry it down. ?
I once had a 23 kilo of dog with an injury that couldn’t run. And I only live on the first floor. After three weeks, it went quite well on the back to wear this dog down and up. Especially several times a day.
Then take a smaller dog that you can easily take on your arm.
But here too, it will be difficult with the Stubenreinheit. Until you get downstairs, the misfortune has already happened.
Remember to walk up stairs is not so much the problem, but walk down stairs. There he has all the weight on the forebos and the shoulder.
Keeping a Labbie on the 3rd floor without an elevator is not particularly smart, because if he gets HD or Ed, how would you get him up and down? And Cavalier Child Charles are breeders
Hi I think that underestimates her the dimension that is how to wear a cupboard 3 times high and down daily and also an adult Labrador do the stairs in the long term are not well built for it.
Would you look at the other 340 dog breeds if there wasn’t something that fits much more, because 3rd floor already means a lot of steps to run there it is more practical to have a dog under 15kg that you can still wear. I’d rather look in the direction of Kromfohrländer.
Especially since a puppy has to go out well and like 8 – 10 times a day. It’s hard to do with a big dog. And if the dog is old, Arthrose gets, you have to do it again.
Bad choice of these two dog breeds.
The Cavi is a torrent, please don’t support!
And a Labbi in 3. Stock without elevator? Please don’t.
go to the racial lexikon of the VDH http://www.vdh.de and reconsider your desire race thoroughly.
18 Kilos, even as a woman, should not be an excessive challenge.
Instead of screwing the arms into some dishes, you can just put it over your shoulder.
And every day the four-legged “training unit” becomes a bit more demanding.
That’s not a solution. If the dog also has to run so many stairs several times a day in the adult age, the joints do not do well. And I’m just pretending what happens when the dog is sick and has diarrhea and has to get out every half an hour. Or when he gets old. Then you can drag him back.
When choosing the dog, you should just keep a little mind and not just be guided by “will have”
