When we got Darby she weighed about 7 pounds and we drove her home in a box where she napped. She's now 13 pounds and whenever I drive her somewhere I put her on the front seat next to me...IN THE SAME BOX! :yikes: Needless to say she's too big for it, but it does keep her from jumping around. Of course, she's chewed it down about 2 inches shorter all around.
So how do you guys contain your pups on short jaunts of less than say, 30 minutes? I'd love it if she'd just sit patiently on the seat like a well-mannered adult dog, but there's no escaping the fact that Darby (at 3 1/2 months) is not yet a well-mannered adult dog. Despite the fact that she loves her regular crate at home we've never successfully gotten her inside a travel crate, and that seems too much for a 10 minute trip to the ball diamond.
Any suggestions for a jumping pup in the car when there's no one else to hold her?
