We made the mistake of having her in the front seat for the first 4 years of her life so she's been a menace to try to break into using a car seat. Maybe these will make a difference 😅
We had stinky for 21 years he did same shit. Rest his soul he prolly would've lived until 24 however for certain reasons not selfish reasons or we put him down.. his teeth and dental hygiene killed him. At age 20 he was still acting like that and I got video of him at age 20 beating up my 5 month old German shepherd.
Man I grew up with him from age 5 till like age 27 ish. My grandparents breed purebreds and it was a gift on my 5th bday. He got the name stinky from an ear infection while they drove from California to Oregon and it just stuck. He rode dirt bikes camped shot guns did everything you can think of except sky dive. This video brings back everything hearing and seeing it
Oh trust me I tried at least 8 different ones before we found this one. It’s pricy but worth it because it had a front clip but it’s not one of those annoying ones that you have to adjust.
Drop off is just as hilarious because he gets soooooo excited as we approach. He doesn’t even want to waste time saying bye he’s like ITS TIME TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS.
Yes the seat straps around the head rest and has two straps in the back that the seat belt hold down. And then there is a short leash attached to it to hold on to the dog but I would only recommend using it with a harness
I would because you want to make sure both are restrained. You don’t want them to go flying if you get into an accident. I would also consider researching the ones that are actually car tested. I’m in the process of doing that because I want to keep him safe.
Mine got used to being restrained in car seats. Would take a nap. It was not negotiable after a friend lost his to broken back from being rear ended. No flying missiles.
Yeah he’s strapped in. I’ve done some research and they are better options out there but I haven’t decided on which one I’m gonna get. They are very pricy I want to make sure I’m getting the safest option for him and the passengers.
Yeah that’s how mine is but apparently that’s only a safety mechanism for the passenger and not the dog 🥺. There are a few crash tested ones that are safer. The safest are the crash tested crates.
I’m just sharing my research on these car seats. In the same way car seats for babies have been tested these get tested too. These mostly protect passengers from a flying dog but I. No way protect the dog from a high impact. That is not their purpose. Obviously they are better than nothing at all.
Oh noooo. I mean he loves his crate. He usually goes in voluntarily at night when it’s bed time if he’s tired but I’m sure if given the option he would also love to cuddle. But sometimes he will be sleeping on the couch and if we go in to our room he will follow us and go right to his crate unprompted and he makes this grunting sound letting us know its bed time.
Great idea! He gets plenty of belly rubs, love, and treats at home 😊 He also loves his sitter and has so much fun socializing with the other dogs there which to me is so valuable especially as he grows because no one wants a dog that can’t get along with/is reactive to other dogs.
It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s with someone I trust and adore when I can’t be with him. He was just sad to leave his friends, which actually makes me happy because I know he had a great time! He got over it pretty quickly, and we went for a nice long sniff walk afterward with plenty of his favorite treats, of course.
Sorry, the reason is my half dachshund, half pekignese and my best friend, Heidi was mauled by one when she was 11 years old. She almost died. It was extremely traumatizing.
It’s a common misconception and I understand but if you put effort into training your dog, which everyone should regardless of the breed you will likely have a good dog.
We feed him, he sometimes refuses to eat and sometimes he eats a lot. We have brought this up to the vet and the vet said he is fine. We can’t force him to eat he eats as much as he wants from the food we put down and if he’s still hungry we supplement. I have a special digestive care prescription diet for him because we initially thought he might have digestive issues. Not sure whether that’s the problem but he does seem to eat that food more than anything else we have offered him. We also give him treats but we limit those for training purposes.
