Dog Safety Tips
Use the Soft Crate Mini with the Dog Roof Mini to create a Doghouse Mini, an enclosed dog carrier for Tern bicycles. The Doghouse Mini must be
installed with the Clubhouse Mini and is designed to carry a well-behaved, trained small/mid-sized dog up to 13.5 kg (30 lb).
Before riding
• Consult with your veterinarian or dog behavior specialist if you have any questions or concerns on how to ride with your dog.
• Familiarize your dog with the Doghouse Mini before taking them on the bike. Install the Soft Crate Mini & Dog Roof
Mini to the Clubhouse Mini and place it in a familiar environment so they can get used to how it feels and smells. Your
dog is likely to behave more calmly if they are introduced to the Doghouse Mini in a non-threatening way. They may
need some time before your first ride to become accustomed to the new carrier. Don’t rush the introduction.
• Alternatively, install one accessory at a time and give your dog enough time to become familiar with each part separately.
On the bike
• Before riding on public roads, practice riding without your dog. Place something the same weight as your
dog in the Doghouse Mini and practice biking with the additional weight in the back.
• After feeling comfortable with the increased weight, practice riding with your dog in a calm, traffic-free area.
• Always attach both safety tethers to your dog’s harness to prevent them from jumping out of the Doghouse Mini.
Do NOT attach
the tethers to a collar
. Attaching the tethers to a collar can cause serious injury and will increase the risk of neck damage.
•
Do NOT leave your dog unattended
even if the bike is on the kickstand. A wriggling dog can
upset the balance of the bike and a fall may result in serious injuries.
• During your ride, periodically check that your dog is comfortable and stays adequately hydrated.
Tip: Use the bottle mounts on the Clubhouse Mini to attach your dog’s water bottle.
• Make sure the first ride is a short and positive experience. Monitor your dog to make sure they remain
calm and relaxed. Longer rides should wait until your dog feels comfortable on the bike.
