Dog restraintment

[Jack Hutton]

I've got a Holden SV6 ute and was wanting to restrain my dog (a large lab) in the tray. Anyone got any good ideas?

Buy one of them aluminium a dog cages and either bolt to the floor or use ratchet straps to hold it in place.

Didn’t really want to put a cage in, just wanted to connect him to something

Pretty sure there's a product out there that attaches to both sides of the tray and they has the restraint in the middle so there's no chance of old mate falling out.

This is what 20 seconds of Googling turned up =http://vetproductsdirect.com.au/ute-centre-restraint-adjustable-black?___store=vpdaustralia

Probs want to use a harness with it tho.

In the back of the wagon I used a seat belt clicker, and a seat belt harness from ebay. Worked in the back seat of sedan, and works in the back of wagon, could try attaching a clicker to the tray somewhere?

Yeah a dog harness clipped to a short lead into a buckle on the middle of the tray up near the front would be my suggestion. Keep the lead short or Old Mate could jump out and potentially hang himself or though less likely with a dog harness. if you have a way of mounting the short strap clicker off a seat belt even better because a lot of harness' now have the seat belt buckle on them.

I use a child seat extension strap in my vs ute. It bolts to the child seat anchor point located in the centre of the parcel shelf. Then it's simply clicking it to his harness to keep him in the tray
