The Dogmother Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 No idea - I guess it's worth phoning up to find out - could just be a clever bit of viral marketing, or could be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 mine isnt there. Am hoping to get my puppy next week, so thinking about this. When i get him i have a dog cage that i used for chicken intros, that i will clean up. Hoping i can get it on the back seat and put the front seat down so that the pup can see me rather than put it in the boot. He might find it a bit strange and we have about an hour and a half journey.. Hubbie is at work and the friend i was going to ask to come with me has her puppies due any day, so its not fair to ask her to come with me.

The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Just so long as you can secure the crate on the back seat. I'd put it in the boot TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovemarmite Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 It may well end up in the boot. But will have a play and see if i can secure it. Once I have him I plan to try him with a harness so he can sit in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 You might want to check that he doesn't get car sick before you let him on your seats - most puppies do sick up in cars for the first few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 It's best to keep them in the boot in a crate at first, then progress to a dog guard and a long line to attach them to the car until they learn not to jump out when you open the door. The 'wait' command is one of the best to teach a youngster; it's quite easy to teach with their food or treats... even my brainless ginger eejit has mastered it, to a degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
