subject: Protect Your Pet In The Car [print this page] Britain is a nation of dog lovers. When you go out to your local park, love them or loathe them, you will always see lots of people taking their dogs for a walk or run. Most people keep their dogs under control and fortunately it is only a slim minority who are not responsible and their dogs cause a nuisance to others. It is also true that even those who are not particularly fond of dogs, can usually see their funny side and are often open to the humour that can surround owning a dog. However, there is nothing funny about having a dog that is out of control. Often pet owners allow their dogs to become out of control even when they adore them and look after them well. One of the problems here is that most dogs love the thought of being in control and most know exactly how to get round their owners, in order to obtain that otherwise elusive level.
It"s very easy when travelling with your dog in the car for it to get out of control and often neither of you realise this. This is why people buy dog guards. A dog that is on the back seat of a car may get up and move around to find a more comfortable position. In so doing it may swish its tail against the driver"s neck or move forwards to the gap between the driver and passenger seats, causing severe distraction. If a driver is constantly thinking about the dog on the back seat and concerned about braking then this is going to detract from concentration.
Whilst it is always important to drive carefully with or without passengers and pets, dog guards can ease the concerns of a driver. Children are less likely to pet and stroke a dog if it is secured behind a guard, specially fitted to your car. This will mean the dog will not get unduly excited and jumpy. Dog guards help a dog to feel calmer when travelling by car on the roads. The space can also be used for shopping and if you have to stop suddenly or apply the brakes more sharply than normal, then a good guard can prevent either a pet or shopping from falling off seats and jolting around. There are companies who will provide all your dog guard needs and they can be located online very easily.
