Dog containment?

[Harleydoc]

Yeah that is true but I need a set up where I could add something like this to my boat trailer that would work out good but then it be a long trailer I just make sure the dog is clean before he gets in the kennel

I'm looking at having Raingler produce a barrier net to set up behind the rear seats, and potentially another one to cover the roll-down hatch window. You have to install mounting locations (hooks, footman loops, whatever), but it can be done pretty tastefully.

When i get back home tomorrow I hope to email him back with the measurements, as he currently doesnt have a template for the 4th Gen.

I think that people have been using the FJ version in the 4th Gens, but it would be great if there was a 4th Gen-specific version. Keep us posted!

I keep mine in his crate in the back since I don't want dog hair all over the upholstery.

I can understand the keeping the hair off of the upholstery bit; however, I cannot urge your enough that keeping a dog in a secured or even unsecured kennel/ crate is a terrible idea in the event of an accident. There have been crash test videos showing that not only will the dog be a moving projectile within the kennel which most often would kill your four legged friend, but coming to a very quick stop with the dog still moving within the kennel can cause the kennel to break apart. Then you have plastic and/ or metal projectiles flying through your vehicle.

I would suggest looking at the Ruff Rider. You can use that in conjunction with the Kurgo Zip Line. I am not a dealer or rep for these products, I just know people who have them and that they work! I am going to be putting an order in here soon.

I am not sure if its the right thing to do but it works ... I use a simple leash and a few of those (rock climbing hooks) and simply snap one end to his coller and the other to the corner hook in the REAR tie-down location (floor). Him being a smaller dog he cannot easily clear the back seat, he has enough lead to look up over the back seat or move around all he likes...I agree that in the event of a impact/ rear or otherwise he would not be very safe...although I never transport him on routes I am unfamiliar or speeds past 50MPH (not that its any safer)

I have a 85lb GSD and a 140lb Irish wolfhound / Lab mix and I have used the barrier method and it didn't work. My shepherd is too smart and just pulls it down. What I did was tether each dog to the rear D rings at the floor closest to the door. I got a 6 foot leash and shortened it up so they couldn't jump over the seat but are able to move around or lay down. It also helps that they are tied because if they are not when I open the back door (like at the vet) it's hard to stop them from jumping out. I usually just use thier collar for short trips but for long ones I use a special harness (Solvit-Car Safety Harnesses For Dogs) made for dogs that attaches at their back.

That's the harness I use as well, Erich, the Solvit. I love it!

 

[Erich_121]

I've been really happy with it as well. I also usually put a t-shirt on my GSD to help with the hair.

Of course, one could always do what I do with my dogs...

The dogs stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and the inside of your vehicle stays hair and disgusting crud free.

... provided you have more than one dog, and need to transport them many times/week like I do...

We could puts the kids in that and the dogs in the backseat.:lol: J/K

I've got one built by a fellow out in CO. Not cheap but really well made. Jester4kicks actually posted on it earlier so I'll link his post with pics.

Raingler installed

Well, I finally got my Raingler net installed!




Ed made this custom net for me to suit the 4th Gen dimensions, and also gave it a tighter weave to stop the Mutt from poking his head through and drooling all over the baby.

Fit and finish is awesome. I'm hoping to use some flatbar to offset the upper mounting locations forward from the roof hooks, to have the net sit more upright (right now it slopes slightly toward the rear of the truck).

Like I said that would be great, but then again I own Scotts and they can destory anything.
