MikeGeorge Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Any recommendations for how to secure dogs (a small cocker spaniel in our case) in a TR250 (Surrey top)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Salisbury Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I drop the human end of the lead over the gearstick, and a firm "Down Max", ..... though I've never been tempted to have him in the car when the top is off. Cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter V W Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Roll bar with a horizontal harness bar. Dogs need a harness not just a collar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 We have a couple of old style seat belt eye bolts at the back corners of the shelf. Climbing tape loops are secured to the eyes and dog harnesses carabinered to the tapes. We stuff pillows between the seat backs and shelf to fill the gap and give the dogs a bit more space.

RobertS Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hi Mike - we have a 25 kg standard poodle who goes everywhere with us in our TR5 Surrey top. We also wondered whether this would be possible or sensible. We securely fitted a D bolt into the floor of the rear seat area and use carabiners and a short strap to connect to a proper dog harness for her size and weight. We stuff two small pillows behind the seats, and use a sheep skin rug to create a comfy, flat platform for her. Works a treat, top off or on. Cheers, Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
