Part 2 of ?: My rescue dog is reactive to dogs and claws at the windows. Will the harness limit movement to the window?

No! Not by itself. However, if you connect it to a seat belt for a dog, then you are able to limit the movement to the window.

If the harness is correctly installed in the car, it should limit movement to the window. Our dog is very hyper and the harness limits his movements. We are very pleased with the ease of loading and unloading our dog from the car with the harness. We have been pleased.

Not really. The dog can move around inside the vehicle. The harness attaches to the shoulder restraint of the seatbelt, which allows a decent bit of movement. My pup can easily get to a window. We have, however, been in a fairly serious car accident with her in the harness and with the sudden movement the shoulder restraint engages, keeping your pup in place. Thankfully she was perfectly safe, and I attribute that completely to the Kurgo harness, because she would have gone flying otherwise.

I have a Boston Terrier and no she can't put her head out the window. If she could I would move it as it is too dangerous to have dogs heads out of the window - bugs in eyes, can hurt their ears, etc. I love my seat. Jovi has used a Kurgo seat since she was a puppy and hops in whenever she is in the car even if she is not buckled in.

in my opinion "NO". It inconvenienced my minpin but did not "hobble" her. I finally electrified the fence by going to a feed store and buying a kit of transformer and wires. Did the trick, she only tried it once, got zapped, and now doesn't even think of jumping it. She also spent time chewing up the "jumping" harness so that was a wash. It would only be useful for walking a hard to control dog.

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

No. I've had the same trouble with the fabric harnesses and my cocker spaniel. Might be best to go with leather.

Hello, this is designed to help prevent the dog from fully bending to reach their backend. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that this will fully prevent your dog from reaching around.

It depends on the size of the dog, and the adjustment of the leash that drops down from the zip-line to the harness on the dog. You want the dog to have enough room to lie down if that is what your dog likes to do, but not so much room, that s/he can go flying through the windshield in the event of an emergency stop.

In my opinion it is safe. I like to line it with blankets for more comfort on longer rides. It has a short leash that can attach to their harness. This allows you to keep the top "window" open without the dog getting out. I had to adjust the length of it for my dog. I hope this was helpful.

Dash, I believe it would STOP just like if a person was in it when it was given a jerk. It doesn't really even move the belt or 'give' when the dog walks around. It's pretty secure. In fact, it's SO secure that it's really hard to take it off to move it to a different car. The velcro is like glue. I trust it completely.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensors, but I wouldn't recommend giving the pets access to areas where you are placing your motion sensors.

I have a Highlander and my Chihuahuas can see out of the window when they sit/stand up in it. A larger dog could probably lay down and still see out of it, but the seat does not obstruct the view of the driver in my vehicle.

14 lbs might be a little big for the seat, and if your dog can see out of the windows or not depends on how you adjust the straps. Use a harness, not a collar or you dog won't have room to move.

Probably not. I learned a trick from a trainer: whenever a dog jumps at you, hold his both paws longer than he is comfortable with, say... a minute. Dogs don't like to be constrained. After some jumps, they associate jumping with being held still by the paws, and stop doing it. If does not work, I would ask a trainer, or a vet. SPCA has great free suggestions for training dogs out of bad habits. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I use mine for a dog in front of windows, he destroys the blinds jumping on them when I leave the house. He isn't avoiding the blinds or windows, he is avoiding the mat. Your results with a cat and a couch may differ. Cats are pretty cagey. All animals react differently. I have two dogs, and one is smart enough to get around the mat, but she doesn't destroy things either. The fake mat seems to work once they are trained...but you can get a cheaper version by just buying some carpet runner or other translucent plastic. Good luck!

That's correct. Only the way for the door to open is with the sensor on the collar. And we've even found, for whatever reason, it actually has to be *on* the dog to work. When we just dangle the collar by the door it doesn't work. We feel it's very secure.

yes the motion detector is sensitive to pets you have to adjust it trial an error

It is pretty sensitive and the sensitivity cannot be adjusted. It may still be set off every time your puppy walks over it.
