Guest NancyS Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 New Jersey just passed a law requiring dogs to have a "car seat" or restraint. Anyone have something they could suggest for a greyhound. My grey usually lays down in the back seat but occasionally will stand - sitting is out of the question in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DragonflyDM Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Do you think NJ's law will allow for the zip line as a restraint to be good enough or do I have to find a new route to Maine this Summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest amylucha Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I bought this harness and it works great! It allows Penny to lie down, get up, etc. I have the shoulder strap of one of the seatbelts reaching across 2/3 of the backseat and hooked the harness strap up to that.

Guest june Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I tether two of mine in the van. They wear a harness which is then has a short (2 1/2 foot) leash attached to a seatbelt. They can lay down, stand up, turn around without any problems but don't get tangled and cannot reach me while I am driving or jump out of the van when I open the door. My third just lays down and waits to be told she can get out of the van; she was an only for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked in the Prius also. Will admit though that I prefer crates in the van & was using those more often than harnesses+tethers. Though not so much now that I frequently haul my recumbent trike. Need to re-outfit the van to fit both trike & crates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 yeah, i noticed the sign on the jersey turnpike- ALL OCCUPANTS IN CARS MUST WEAR SEAT BELTS......ha.... i think they are looking for dogs in the back of pickups and in driver's laps. the signage is NOT on all roads, so.. i guess if you get stopped it will be a warning. give me a break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGreyGirl Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for the ideas and links. Livs likes to move around a little too much for my comfort level. I get very nervous about her being injured or thrown in an accident or if I have to brake too hard too quickly on the freeways here. Quote Qui me amat, amet et canes meas...et felem.
