SAFETY TIP FOR TRAVEL
This is the back of a lift hatch Equinox. For me, the best way to travel with my dogs is to have the back seat down. While I teach my dogs to โwaitโ and โstayโ before jumping in and out of the car, I wanted a safety measure in place in case one comes outโ uninvited. I attach the eye of the leash to a lightweight tie-out cable that is secured to a seat bracket. These cables are easy to get, and it takes all of 10 seconds to secure the leash. If she does jump out, it gives her another 6 ft or so. Notice, the cut pool noodles that cover those brackets. This is to offer a little cush if she bumps on a hard brake or worse. I also put a noodle strip along that airline crate for the same reason. That crate is secured to the front seats and accommodates the little dogs.
If you only have a big dog that rides in the back seat, you can still use this cable for safety. It can be secured to any of the available anchors for car seats or belts. Training your dog to properly ride in a vehicle is still essential; this suggestion is for added safety. Hey Greyhound peeps, please note that flexi lead in the photo IS NOT for Greys!๐
HAPPY TAILS!
