Do you let your dog ride in the bed or the cab?

Dumb Friends League?

Ours goes crazy for the tennis ball. Sometimes I think we are keeping Wilson in business.

 

thats pretty badass, especially for the price.

 

Yeah, the only thing I don't like about it is that the material sticks hair pretty badly, so you can't just shake it out. But I guess it's better for it to stick to it than to get in the truck.

Can't argue with that price, though!

 

nah, at place out here in colorado called Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue. She is a nut for tennis balls but chews the fibers off them so we got her the orange chuck it balls!!!!

 

if they last longer than tennis balls i gotta check them out. tired of picking up poop with little fuzzy pieces of black rubber all over the yard

 

I use lacrosse balls with my dog. He can't kill them.

Here he is in the bed, in his cage up on the platform I made. The cage is held down with bungee cords.

 

Is the platform for more storage underneath? What was your purpose of that?

 

they are almost indestructible and float too, and trust me my dog is a chomper, she destroys kong bones and toys that are rated a the highest chew level.

 

i have a Siberian Husky. On the freeway he rides inside. The WORST PART is his hair. He drops hair left and right laying down standing up dont matter. After he rides inside, the next week or so if i open windows his hair flies every where. SO dont open your mouth haha.... if we ride down the street i made a wire cable that strings from one side to the other and a clip which attaches to his collar. That way he can walk from one side to the other and stick his head out but not jump cuzz he willll jump! He barks and hauls (not crying) the whole way but sits still and calm on red lights which is odd. This weekend iam gonna check out some crates for him a good size one so he can ride in the bed safe highway and street.. what do you guys think??

 

Exactly. More storage room, especially when truck camping. I can remove the cage and sleep up on the platform while keeping a decent amount of stuff inside the truck bed underneath me.

Here's the build thread I made on it:

I have a 100 LB Mastiff/Lab....she rides in the back. But that is with a canopy on it.

 

My Lad rides in the bed. I have a large kennel that I tie in the back. She really enjoys it.

 

what kind of kennel do you have?

 

It says "Midwest 1642" on it.

 

My mutt actually prefers to lay on the top of my tool box in the bed of my truck. The first time he jumped up there I was a little nervous but that was well over a year ago and has not fallen out yet. Short trips around town he is going in the bed, but he rides shotgun when on the interstate.

There was this one time that we took a trip to wally world and he was chillin on the toolbox. Once we slowed down in the parking lot he decided that he wanted to ride on the cab of the truck. The looks on the faces of the people in the parking lot was priceless. He hasnt ever done that again tho.

 

Thanks

 

my wet okoles r coming tomorrow so ill be a little more willing to let my pup take rides with me haha

 

how do i prevent my dog from jumping out of the bed while driving on the highway?

that's what i'm afraid he'll do lol

 

cruise down a back road about 20 and see if he does it, he wont do it again, thats how my dog learned, it scared the hell out of him, he landed in the grass and rolled in the ditch tho. he saw a deer, thats why he jumped lol

 

by not putting him in the bed while driving on the highway!!


i want to smack the shit out of every dumb ass i see driving down the highway with their dog in the back.
