Reddit reviews Outward Hound Kyjen OH00679 Back Seat Hammock Dog Auto Travel Back Seat Pet Hammock Easy-Fit Seat Cover, Large, Black

this is what we have http://www.amazon.com/Outward-Hound-Back-Hammock-Black/dp/B000MD58MA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1368727664&sr=8-5&keywords=dog+hammock

My dog used to do this too. Well he didn't cry, but he hugged the back wall of the seat. It's the gap inbetween the bench seat and the back of the front seats, the legroom, that bothers them. Something about it made him worried sick.

Anyway get a dog seat hammock. This one is good because it has a piece that slides inbetween the seat and back cushion on the bench and anchors it in place. Others are probably good too. It has the double effect of keeping your seat free of hair/scratches and makes your dog so much more comfortable with driving. They're really easy to put in or take off too, less than a minute to install.

I picked up something similar to this and it greatly increased my red heeler's enjoyment of the car AND reduced how much hair he leaves in the back seat.

This wonderful piece of engineering might help you out!

I got one of these a few months ago. so far it's held up well. It stays in place and helps the dog feel more secure since she cant fall between the seats. It works well to protect the seats from dirt/damage from other things as well.

If you have a really large dog it might not hold up (the straps that hold it up are a bit cheap), but it holds the full weight of my 45 lb dog easily.

It wouldn't work well as a divider, but we use a car harness for our dog regardless. Even if she was 100% trustworthy (not going to climb into front seat/run out of the car off leash) accidents happen.

We use a dog hammock like [this one](Outward Hound Kyjen OH00679 Back Seat Hammock Dog Auto Travel Back Seat Pet Hammock Easy-Fit Seat Cover, Large, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MD58MA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lgiEybH0V3FGS) it's actually super convenient for multiple dogs and keeps them running around the car.

We bought the kyjen/outward hound convertible cover from Amazon for ~$20. You can use it as a hammock, or release the front straps to use as a regular cover. It has worked great for our muddy wet puppy!

I also drive a Jetta, just got another one yesterday so in an effort to keep the back seat somewhat clean, i've gotten one of These. So far it's great except for the fact that the one i got reeks of vinyl so i'm attempting to air it out for a few days. Also, this will prevent him from falling behind the front seats and generally keeps him from moving around too much. My dog is 70 pounds so there's not a whole lot of extra room for him.

We used the same one for a Thanksgiving trip this year. Worked just fine for the price. Amazon link. I paid $15 with free shipping with Amazon Prime.

Me time.

My SO and I would first, go to the dog park together. Protect the car seats and make sure to bring the tennis ball launcher to tire out both pups. Also, here are the tennis balls.

Light this delicious, romantic Woodwick candle. Mood lighting/smells.

Make some homemade pizzas. From scratch, using ingredients out of these canisters and you have to make the pizza together. Sharing rolling and flouring duties. Possibly throw flower. Music should be playing in background, like this Momford & Sons album. Perhaps we'd even bake cookies together.

While pizza is baking, bust out Scrabble or Twister, whichever fits your style. Include drinks.

After getting significantly tipsy, watch movies together, Possibly a few Harry Potter movies.

Read books together. I'd read this new one by J.K. Rowling. Go to bed really late after doing some "adult things" together. Sleep on these warm sheets.

Thanks for the contest. I'm actually single, but this is a future, a-girl-can-dram plan for myself. ;)
