My dogs love the "Lookout carseats." I have two in the backseat - and both my dogs ride back there. They sit up and look out the window a lot - and if we're in the car very long, they'll lie down and sleep.
At first my new little Yorkie pup thought he rather ride up front climbing all over me -- but he just didn't get his way. I put him in the back - and he stays there (that's just the way it's going to be). There will be no exception to this rule.
He barked only a couple times when we first started taking him in the car. All I ever did was turn around and tell him "No" (firmly). And, I did this everytime he even started to bark.
He rides great now. He's content being in the back - and even sleeps a lot. We have gone for two hour drives with no problems often.
****** I do know - if I ever gave in and let him ride up front with me - he'd be driving me crazy to do that all the time. So - his only experience riding in a car has always been riding in the backseat in his carseat. This is all he knows. And, I have put my dog's carseats in a lot of other people's cars - and they are just as good in any car.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
