Your dog needs to be trained that they don't move out of the car until that leash is on, and you give the go ahead. How you train your dog to this is up to you. I usually in the early days, find a quiet park, deserted, and with treats, get the dog to sit stay, until I put the leash on. With my Yorkie he is trained to jump up in my arms (he gets a treat), and I quickly put on the lead. My body is oriented in towards the car until I'm sure that leash is on, and I have control of him.


Another suggestion is to attach the leash before you detach from the car harness/booster.
Excellent! I always do this. I take my time and focus, especially when I have both Max and Teddy with me because they are runners.
