Our Dogs back legs getting caught in wheels

First off - we are so thrilled to have been given this gift of this chair for our 10 year old German Shep with DM. She loves her chair and is almost running - however her back legs are pulled up are getting caught in the wheels - it shows she still has some muscle tone as you see her legs kicking. Are we doing something wrong - we've looked at pics of other dogs and it seems we have her set up right? An advice would help.

Hard to tell from the angle of the picture. Can you do a video? Or take shots from the side (low) and back?

If dogs legs are getting caught up in wheels, it's usually because the cart is upside down or his legs are splayed outward. Make sure the Walkin Wheels label is on the left side of cart.
