Thanks everyone for your help!
B's in cars
-
What about the gate things they have to put across the backseat so they can't get into the front?
-
Did you get approved from BRAT for another dog. I know you were waiting to hear from them.
I use seat belts for both of mine. They work really well, except for the one Wyatt chewed through:rolleyes: -
Well I'm happy happy happy to say that I have a scheduled home visit for next wed. so I'm very excited about that. Still no B's around my area but hopefully this will speed up the process and maybe even get them to transport.
As for the seatbelt…well like I said Champ wiggled out of it but I'm definetly going to look into the one that straps to the halter and car seat, can't see how he can come out of that. -
We crate our dogs for long trips. No extra seats for them
-
We crate them on all trips, long and short.:)

wish we had the room that seems to be the safest.

The seat belt type would be the next best bet. We used to let them run all over the car…...no more.

no good either since he's wiggled out but I'm going to try the one that attaches to the harness….it has to be better than me holding him in the front seat

Without question. Someone on this forum had one poop in her consol while it was loose in her car when she left the vehicle for a short time.:D Went in places she couldn't clean.:D One of the funnest things I've read on the forum, but it illustrates a point rather well.:D

Our has the tendancy to want to climb in your lap while driving then sit up and stick his butt in your face. Or Female used to have the nervious dripper effect- drooling & spit bubbles coming out of her mouth.
The other great reason or a crate is you can attach a crate fan if you do ever have to nleave them alone for a very short time.
I have seen dogs get heat stroke at dog shows.

yeap I read that one. Actually this weekend I thought we were going to have the similar situation. I literally had a bag strapped to his behind and holding a cup in case he needed to pee….coming back from a long trip and stuck in traffic.
-
the whole thing is really for safety purposes…that is the seat belt.
-
Yep ours would like to climb to the front & drive :eek: :eek: if we didin't strap them in. DH likes the harness I prefer the crates.
-
yeah what is up with the standing on the dashboard, hunting style with there paws on your chest and butt on your face?

Tayda and Lenny travel in a soft sided crate in the back seat. Its a canvas crate with mesh windows and it collapses flat. Its really convenient and they have become very used to it. Lenny just jumps right in, and Tayda I have to lift into the car (she's a wimp). I also have a smaller wire crate that would fit in the back seat but I have not yet used it…
I have never tried the seatbelts but I have had them loose in the car before and I can't stand the hair everywhere... and they do try to drive.
-
We use the seat belt/harness type for both of them. They're in the back and stay put. They just curl up and sleep.
