Posted: 25 Jun 2010 08:57 AM PDT From the moment you first place your dog in the vehicle, you want him to understand how he should behave. The best way to do that is to place the dog in the location where he will always sit when traveling by car. For a small dog, a collapsible cage might be a good solution. When you place the cage inside the car, make sure that it is secure and on a flat surface. You want to make sure that your pet is safe and comfortable so that he enjoys the ride and behaves. For a larger dog, you need to place him somewhere that is secure enough to keep him from distracting the driver or getting in his way. If the car is a hatchback, consider purchasing a divider that will separate it from the rest of the car. You need to make sure that the divider is secure and that it will stay in place for the duration of the trip. In fact, if you look on websites that sell products for animals, you will most likely find dog guards or dividers for almost any make of vehicle. Additionally, they are often for sale at various dog shows. In addition to dividers that separate one area of the car from another, there are special guards for windows that allow your pet to get fresh air without the risk of jumping or falling out of the window. If you prefer, you can always use a specially designed harness to clip your dog to the seatbelt of the back seat. Whatever you decide to do, you must be consistent. It is important if you want your dog to learn proper behavior while traveling in the car. |
