Cockers in the car and keeping it clean!

[laurenollie]

Mine were always behing a dog guard, then we got a saloon, and I bought a hammock type thing for the back seat.  BEST BUY EVER!  Loop it over the front and back headrests, and there are slots for the seatbelts to go through.  Got mine off Ebay, not expensive and gathers everything up in there and you just pull out and shake!

Looked at these but I only have a 2 dorr car so would have to constanley attach and re attach to get him in - but to me it soundls like all the hair/grit/sand could easily travel off it and get undernerth then I'm back to square one with the muck!!! Its the muck i'm trying to control better - rather than Ollie!!! How do you find it for making the car mucky?

I use it in a 3 door, I use it for going to the beach, and I can honestly say it keeps the dirt inside it and off the seats, it moves when you flick the seat forwardI find it easy to use even with my two wiggle bottoms!

Thats interesting to know - thank you! I've bought a longer seatbelt so will try that and then look into the hammocks too!

We don't get those hammocks here, soooooo.... I got my MIL to make me one (good thing she's so handy with the sewing machine  I can't put the straps on, though cos Bailey chews right through them in a matter of minutes  If I leave the straps off, he settles down and goes to sleep.

Misha and Roly go in the boot (have dog guard) and Lexi goes in a crate on the back seat.  Lexi used to go in the boot with the other two, but that was before she and Roly began singing their duet everytime we went out      Now Roly is a solo artist.  I have the boot lined with a waterproof liner and the waterproof seat covers for the back seat.

If I'm travelling with just one dog, both Misha & Roly will sit/sleep in the footwell of the passenger front seat.  Lexi like so to sit up on the seat, so has a dog harness and seat belt.

Maggie used to be on the back seat with a waterproof cover on it but a couple of months ago I got a Dog Bag off the back of reviews on here and she loves it.... soon as I put her in there she works out whether we're just popping down the road to the park, and if it feels longer she settles down and goes to sleep.

Tess goes on the back seat with a harness/seatbelt on the way there and on the way back goes in a crate in the boot

Mine go in the boot and make it very mucky and slather the back windscreen with their dribbly little mushes so no help I'm afraid. I have on occasion thought about strapping 'em both to the roof of the car, ears flapping in the wind...

Either I must be strange or Poppy must be strange but having a 2 seater sports car she has always gone in her basket in the footwell  .  Strangly she has never tried to get onto the seats

In my car BMW estate the 4 are crated ( the boot is huge and easily takes 2 crates) this really helps keeping the car clean and tidy but OH car we just let them jump in the back he also he an estate   but that has cockers kisses all over the window

I vary with the dogs, if I just have 1 or 2 of them with me and they're clean I let them sit on the back seat or the passenger seat. If I have all 3 of them or they're manky Caoimhe goes in her crate in the boot, Tilly goes in the boot beside her and Rodaidh jammy sod face travels in the front with me (he'd just jump over the seats anyway ) but only if he's clean, if he's manky he gets shoved in the boot too and told to stay there in the voice of doom

I usually manage to keep the worst of the mud confined to the boot but Rodaidh and Caoimhe's hair still gets everywhere.

We just have a dirty car!!!   

[MOO-MOO]

Mine all have crates in the car...........currently a BMW estate car, soon to be Mondeo estate, lots more room...........yayyyyyyy!!

Back seats down - two in the boot area and one on the folded down seats.

If Moo's on his own he will happily sit on the front seat covered by a towel and lead wrapped very loosely round the head rest.

We just have a dirty car!!!   

Glad it's not just us then  I was just about to put the same thing. I just realised I bought my car in November and haven't washed it yet 

[Ninasmum]

We have a car boot liner, vet bed, towels, dog guard & recently just had the Barjo tailgate guard fitted, which is fab    I feel much happier now because its impossible for them to jump straight out from the boot now.    All in all the car is now almost dirty dog proof    apart from their little kisses  on the tiny back side windows.

Ours go in the boot, I'm in the process of trying to get a tailgate made by a friend so will be happier if I can get that done. The boot does get dirty but nothing a quick valet can't sort, much rather pay someone to remove all the dirt and hair than try and do it myself!

How about buying one of those covers that goes over the whole of the seat and then putting a blanket on over the top?
