Dog Harness or Tether Recommendations

[XJfanatic]

Jealous of all you whose labs don’t chew through their seatbelt tether in five minutes

Any recommendations for a tether that’s more chew resistant.

We use this one for our dog, she’s a mix between a border collie and a golden retriever. She’s very comfy with it. The seatbelt loops through the big loop on the harness. For daily driving when the top is on she doesn’t wear it as she’s in the trunk and we’ve got a traval pet barrier (metal fence) which bolts in place under the hardtop bolts.

I bought these tethers for my puppy, I have an almost 5 month old Catahoula. I like that it has both the tether and the seatbelt clip but I don't care for the elastic part. There have been a couple times she fell off the seat because she wants to be in my lap when driving and she's trying to get up front. I only use it now with a harness instead her collar if it's just me and her. Usually the kiddos will sit with her in the back and she's totally fine.

This is her riding shotgun when we went went to Starbucks which is just a couple miles down the road.

Please, don't use a tether with a collar for safety reasons.

Congrats. Rear cargo area or back seat? My Lab, Barley, rides in the cargo area with an Icefang tactical harness and a short tether. The tether is adjustable. My wife's mini-Pitbull used to ride on the back as well but he lost his privileges (thus the unused tether on the other side). I also have a cheap Molle-like pet barrier to keep the lab fur in the back. My Lab likes the top-off Jeep way better than the 4-Runner with the back window down...

I tried tethering mine to the center seatbelt, but she figured out how to unbuckle the seatbelt really fast... LOL

A guy I work with put his dog on too long of a leash, he went in the store and when he came back out the dog had hung itself.

Yup, it has a fair amount of Molle. And yes, that front chest loop is great if your dog is a puller!

My brother, Im’ma gonna need a link to that..

Check out Raingler nets. They make some top notch stuff and can easily craft you anything you want in addition to their lineup. I have one of their nets for the cargo area of my XJ and love it. I’ll be using their stuff when I get my JLURD, including asking them for help with a retention system for our GSD and rottie.

I bought the extra large and I would say it’ll fit a dog ranging from 60 pounds to 110 pounds. I really like this one because the four buckles are metal. There’s some that have plastic buckles which I wouldn’t wanna depend on in any kind of accident. Not that any of these are guaranteed in an accident but metal is better than plastic.

Thank you sir. I noticed those metal buckles, that’s why I wanted it. I have a chocolate lab myself but I’m getting the orange one so I have a better chance of spotting him when we’re in the mountains.

Anyone use a zip line type tether? I want my latest pup to be free in the back of my 2 door with no rear seat. She’s got no instinct for self preservation yet though.

I was thinking something like this:

Oldest girl there doesn’t like the Jeep, and the middle brother (not pictured) gets carsick. I’m hoping to get her trained while she’s still a pup to ride along in trail days.

The seat belt ones we use are elastic and give some decent freedom to walk around.
