PNW Taco Doggo talk

Does anyone have suggestions for good rear seat covers for the doggos?

 

We like the hammock style. Prevents the dogs falling into the footwell if I slam on the brakes in Seattle’s crummy traffic. Our girl prefers to lay on the hammock part over the well, so it gives you more room for them back there.

I don’t really have a preference on brand. They do lightning deals now-and-again for like $10.

Thanks! I wasn't even aware of these.

 

I usually find them at Tj-Ross-Marshalls, $10-$15 too

 

That's not bad at all. I would be willing to pay more for something neoprene or similar to wet okoles, but not sure if it's out there; I'm going to have to dig around a bit.

I did find one brand called 4knines that seem to have some nice hammocks as well.

 

For those who are willing to spend more money, I also found these: https://www.fowldog.life/products/?category=Automotive

 

Indeed! That lipstick was supposed to be smudge proof.

 

We have covercraft seat covers and they are great. They are strong, fitted to the seat and stain resistant. They also are designed so that we can easily pull the seat up to get to the storage space below and behind the back seats. Expensive but worth it.

They are Black German Shepherds

 

My 6 year old iggy.

 

He’s got an extreme fascination with the fire pit....... he stands there for hours trying to catch sparks, and when there’s no fire he has scratches at it wondering where it went

 

I use a cheap waterproof hammock style in the back seat and it seems to work pretty well.



Also, does anyone do any dog training with clubs? I'm interested in taking my dogs training to the next level and am curious how the dog club setting works.

 

This old fella turned 12 yesterday.

 

We're recent transplants to the PNW and brought our 2.5 year old beagle with us. This is not the greatest angle of him but the only one I have of him in the truck since I got it. So far he seems to like the taco more than my last car!

 

You need to be more specific. Schutzhund? Agility etc

 

I would like to explore some schutzhund training but I've never talked to anyone who's been part of a club for any discipline. I was just curious if anyone here is involved and can share some of there experiences, good or bad, about working with dog clubs.

 

Im not a member but have been involved with a schutzhund club to develope one of my dog's bite because they had a couple of internationally recognized quarries. Not sure if this experience lends to answering any of your questions.

 

Scent is pretty fun for even non-hunting/SAR dogs. There are clubs for this as well, but my girl gets distracted by others.
