First things first, if you are seriously concerned about your dog's safety in the car, this harness is the -only- one to pass the Center for Pet Safety's crash testing. One or two others may provide decent protection, but the Sleepypod Utility and Sport harnesses are the only ones to keep the dog in the seat with no launching or rotating. Both small harnesses were tested at 25 lbs, both mediums tested at 45 lbs, the large Utility harness was tested at 75 lbs, and the large and extra large Sport harness passed at 90 lbs. I chose to go with the Sport version because they seemed much easier to put on and also more comfortable for the dog. I bought a large for my 80 lb GSD mix (neck 19 inches, girth 30 inches) and a medium for my 55 lb lab mix (neck 14 inches, girth 25 inches). Both fit great! The harness has nice thick padding, and all the straps and buckles seem very tough.
Now for the downside: this harness will more than likely take your dog some time to get used to. BUT, it's certainly not impossible. I don't have kids, but every child I've met never wanted to get in their car seat, dogs are no different. These harnesses are made with safety in mind, comfort comes second. Your dog can sit and lie down comfortably, however, they won't be able to turn around or walk across the seat. If they were able to do so this harness would not have passed testing. Many of the more comfortable harnesses that allow your dog to move catastrophically failed. Both of my dogs have anxiety in the car, neither of them liked the harnesses right off the bat, BUT with time and training they don't care anymore. Sometimes being a responsible dog owner means we have to put our pet's safety first, even if they don't like it.
If your dog is having difficulty with this harness, here is what I did, I hope it helps. You may not need to do all of these steps, it may take you a couple days or a few weeks, it just depends on your dog. All that matters is go slow enough and make the experience positive, they'll get used to it if you stay patient and calm.
1. If your dog isn't used to wearing a harness get them used to having it on first. Put it on several times a day, go on walks, give them treats, feed meals with the harness on. This will get them used to the feeling of wearing it and start to form a positive association with wearing the harness.
2. Take your dog in the car and buckle them in with the harness. Be careful not to lock the seat belt while buckling in, if you have a large dog this can take some practice! Let them sit for a minute, or even less if they instantly start to move. Stay in the back seat with them, praise them and give them treats for being calm and still while being buckled in. They can sit or lay down, it doesn't matter as long as they are being still. Do this a few times a until they remain calm while you buckle them in and can sit still without trying to walk or turn for a few minutes.
3. Buckle your dog in, now go sit in the drivers seat. Praise them if they don't move, then turn on the car, praise again if they don't move. If they do move go back a step, reward them when they calm down, then try again. Once you can start the car without them trying to move its time for a short drive. It really helps if you can have another person in the car to give them treats for being still, if not praise them with your voice, throw treats in the back as long as you can do so safely, but if not continue talking to them in a positive voice. Keep the first few trips short, no more than five to ten minutes, and give them lots of praise for being calm and still. As they get more comfortable with the harness gradually extend the length of your trips.
Thats basically it! After a few days of this my dogs could go on all our usual trips without any fuss. This harness is expensive and most dogs will probably get tangled up in the seat belt on the first try if you rush in, but I don't think that's the fault of the harness or a reason to give up entirely. If my dogs were in the car during an accident and got seriously injured or killed I can guarantee I would've wished I spent $80 and a few hours training if it meant they'd be safe. Happy travels, and thank you Sleepypod for keeping my pups safe!
