Alex knew where the harnesses were and would go sit by them every afternoon until he got his ride. (If you decide to do it this way, be sure to use a harness and not a collar.)

We lost each of them at 17 (1 year apart). Riding was one of their favorite things to do.

Hope this helps and welcome to all of you.
We also use harnesses, NOT collars ever, when our dogs go carting. And leashes to secure the harnesses. Exactly as Dillywho described. We have one 10 lb dog and one 70 lb dog.
