Dogs in TRs

[MikeGeorge]

Any recommendations for how to secure dogs (a small cocker spaniel in our case) in a TR250 (Surrey top)?

[Rob Salisbury]

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

Dogs need a harness not just a collar.

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.

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

Thanks Brenda, I couldn’t work out how to turn the photo up the right way!
