    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.

    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.

    I wish they could go everywhere with me but I couldn't imagine trying to get them on a plane. We are going to lake Erie in a couple week for a long weekend and they are coming with us. This campground is very dog friendly, this is the campground's annual halloween party before shutting down for the winter. Everyone is asking us to bring our dogs and of course they will be dressed up in costumes. After that we are taking a week to go to Cancun. Dog's can't go but will staying with a friend that has 1 acre fenced and her 3 dogs and mine were practically raised together. So we call it a sleepover. Everyone plays until exhaused so not a lot of time to get into trouble. I will miss them while I'm gone but know they are in great hands with my friend.

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    I don't keep a collar on Ava unless I'm walking her. Poor Leki's tragic accident is similar to what happened to two Goldens who lived down the street from me. They were in the backyard playing while their owners were away, and the whole block knew immediately that it was awful. This is an old thread, but there's some good info in it. Doggie daycare has been a lifesaver for me. It gives Ava an outlet for her endless energy and is good for socialization. She is a friendly girl who likes everybody– human, canine and feline. I take turns handing her off to everyone there, and so far, she'll go right to them with a hello lick. I want her to know that people are good and she can trust them. Hopefully, it will always be that way!

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    Mine want to sleep on long, rainy days…..like today. Once they have their first potty of the day and realize it's a downpour day, their whole demeanor changes, and it's a slow-moving, sleepy day all day.
