Hi y'all : I have a new Doberman dog. I cant have her sitting in the passenger seat as although she loves it and is vy good, her legs are so long that when she lies down her legs are over the centre key and gear shift area. She turns the key off and puts the gearshift somewhere else. Not on purpose, but her feet have to go somewhere ! Was vy exciting the first time, as I had no idea why the car wasnt responding to the gas, and had a long line up behind me by then. A unique situation I suppose. Anyways, I tried tying on various pieces of mesh to close the gap between the seats to prevent her getting through from the back with little luck, it just fell off. Does anyone know of a piece of equipment that would work? The normal one for other breeds of cars wont work on Cutie, as the dog does need the wider room at the bottom level of the rear compartment. The biggest challenge is trying to find where to attach or tie on the piece. ??? Input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doris

Would this work? I think they are sold at pet stores.

I did this recently to control boxes and stuff for a few dump runs, but it's the 450 of course. And a squirmy lil dog could get around the sides.

Remember too that there are two threaded holes in front of the removable engine lid and I think I remember seeing a rigid wire "wall" that was an option that mounted using these holes...Gord

Look at the last item on the first page.

Thanks Bil and Gord. These pics give me great ideas. The one that goes over the top of the seats looks like with a mod across the opening that it would work well. Dont need the sides, this dog is far too big to get through those spaces. I also liked the mesh Bil. Cant see just how you fastened it though. The one with a crate in there would take a small one, but my crate is 42x33x31 , and barely goes into the Rav 4. Finding places to attach to is not easy. The one I made, would work I think but I had no place to attach the rope I tried to tie it on with, except on the top of the seat belt where it attaches to the outside of the seats, and it didnt work very well. But now I do have more to think about at least. I might get someone to make me one using the one that fits over the top of the seats, with the mod I mentioned. We will be leaving the end of the month for our winter in Az, and this year, Cutie will have to stay home. We have no truck (nor horse trailer ) anymore, the Rav 4 has no towing equipment and Cutie has none either. But when we come back in Apr. I do want to be able to take the dog in the rear. Thanks again. doris
