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.

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.

The harness doesn't restrict movement on our dogs at all... I guess it's a matter of how well the get the sizing figured.

Don't count on this or any other type of window cover to solve your problem; dogs are so sensitive to various forms of smell, movement and sound. If you are looking for aesthetics, then I highly recommend this window film.

Thank you I appreciate the input. The view from the people who have responded so far is quite mixed. I guess it ultimately comes down to the dog. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel and I fear she is just too head strong to stop this behavior but will give it a try.

My 75 lb lab jumped out of the back seat when we opened the door and it barely resisted. The stitching in the strap came undone. I still think it would help slow down momentum in a car accident but it will not completely restrain them.

The Velcro should still work you will just need new adhesive. Get some heavy duty double stick tape for the back of the Velcro that mounts on the window sill. (I actually use short wide headed nails, 3 or 4, through the Velcro after I stick it down). I have 2 of these mounted in the window and I have 6 cats, 2 of which are almost 20 lbs so I want to make sure that they aren't going to come loose. Good luck on your move.

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.

Mollie does not have this issue. She loves people and I have to work to keep her from jumping on others. The calming coat has been a big help with thunder storms and toe nail clipping. I noticed in one video I saw, this issue was addressed and it seemed to help that dog.

Yes. There's a tether strap that attaches to the dog's collar. You adjust it so it's short so the dog can't jump out of the seat. My puppy enjoys sitting high and being able to look out the window.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

That is the reason I bought this collar and although it gives me a much better control over my dog, I still haven't been able to stop her. from attempting to lunge. What I do is step on her leash so that she can't get to the other the other dog and make her sit. until the other dog passes. Without this collar she still reverts back to the uncontrolled behavior.

I don't think that would be your issue. I have a 60 lb jumper. The barrier did not even phase her. And it constantly came loose. In the end, I tried so hard to tighten it that it just snapped off and is now garbage. I don't know what kind of dog you have, but I personally found this item to be a complete waste of money.

Your controller is synced to your collar. If you correct, it will only affect your dog.

for my lab, i inserted a large eye screw into the floor and then used a zip tie to keep the unit from moving. it works!

It kind of hangs off the headrest and you tether the dog to seat. She should be able to see out the windows, but I don't see her putting her nose out the window. You'd have to have such a long tether she'd be out of the seat. She's certainly enjoy the window being down the same way you do.

Yes, I had the same problem with the little dog. Eventually just put a piece of Velcro to keep in place.
