Does it have a tether that attaches to the pets collar or harness so they won't jump out when you open the sides?

Yes, it does have a tether, but my energetic puppy was still able to unzip the carrier and try to climb out.

There is no clip on the end to connect it to a collar. The slip loop goes around dog's neck instead.

It is a plastic clip. It would be easy to extend the tether with another clip or whatever you prefer. FYI:There is a piece of Velcro next to the clip if you want to use the tether without the harness.

The top does close with a mesh like the surrounding sides and closes with a zipper. But if your dog is a jumper like mine is (toy poodle), she started figuring out that you can get out the top and would jump, stratch, and bite to try and get out (even though she never got out). So the zipper stopped working after a while which meant I had to either buy another or have an opened play pen. I bought a new one and the same thing happened, so I just bought a big cage for her instead.

no that long metal oval is for durability so the mesh part doesn't fall on your pet. Remove it from the tether but don't unscrew the metal screw in the middle of the oval. facing the mesh part of the backpack find the Velcro tab on the outside of the backpack and slide it in all the way and then close the Velcro tab you should find that it's sturdier once you slide that into place.

The leash attachment attaches first to the back wall it comes thru the small slit in the fabric on the back wall then it attaches to the dogs harness or leash hopefully all the parts were sent it has been known to have missing parts) it looks like a long key ring which is screwed to the back wall after putting the fabric on there is a slit in the fabric, that small leash pushes thru and stays in place then hooks to dogs collar or harness

There is no hook or anything like that but the sides and top are made with very strong plastic you could tie it to. But If you have a jumper like my yorkie the top zipper will open so I've sewn it down. It really has been worth it's price.

No, it does not; it is a plastic piece; you would have to buy a dog collar to attach the leash. That isn't even what it is made for; it is supposed help with calming a dog.

Yes it does. It's a small tab that swivels in between the wires that hold it closed. My three dogs have not been able to open the gate and even if they lifted the tab (not likely) they could not raise the door.

No, but there are ringlets on the left and right interior bottom that allow you to hook a leash. I use an old leash that is knotted up to a length that allows the dog to move without leaving the carrier. If your dog rides in your car and it knows its boundaries, it shouldn't be a problem. I leave the top open so my dog can sit and watch the world go by. If you really need straps, I'd use bungy cords. Buy two and hook them around the outside.

yes it does.... keeps the dog very secure. We have an 8 pound yorkie who just loves being pushed around in this.

Yes it does, add a pin so I can change witch side I can stop my dog from going to

There is a small strap with a hook on it and you hook it to there collar or harness. I like using a harness better it restricts there movement a little more

Hi Jane, we have this model and it closes with a zipper. As for "tie downs" I'm not sure what you are referring to but there is an attached lead in the carriage that you can hook your dog's collar to. We don't use that. All that being said we have a 30lb pitbull/french bull dog and this fits her perfectly. So this may be smaller than it seems in the description.

There's a plastic clip and a plastic ring for the tether itself. You could easily attach a longer tether with a ring.

Yes, there is a safety strap in the Houndabout. It clips on to the dog collar, and the pet is safe and secure. Our dog loves to sit in his Houndabout with the top opened so he is able to see out all over the place. Great purchase for us!

I bought 2 of these this winter, already had the harnesses. It is just the tether.
