Training wheels provide stability for pets with balance problems. They will keep the animal upright if his front legs get tired.
In order to use a rear wheel cart, the animal must be able to hold himself up and move himself forward with his front legs. If his front legs wobble, if the animal loses his balance, or his legs or are temporarily weakened by surgery or disability, training wheels will keep the pet upright. They are an economical upgrade for any cart and can be added or detached as the needs of the pet change.
If the pet's front legs are permanently weakened, a counterbalanced cart will take some of the weight off the front. Training wheels can be added to a counterbalanced cart for stability.
Training wheels placed slightly off the ground are an economical alternative for rehab carts for dogs temporarily quadriplegic due to wobblers, FCE, front leg injuries.
These training wheels attach easily to the frame and are positioned an inch or so off the ground. In order to turn the cart, the animal needs only put a little lifting pressure on his front legs to pick up the training wheels slightly.
