Title: Where can you find a net for the cargo area? (dog problem)
Post by: AV.NINE on November 25, 2010, 06:11:40 PM
I have a issue with my dog jumping into the front seats. Would like to keep her in the back. I have a metal cage in the back of the WJ but not quite as practical for my TJ, when summer comes and Im rollin topless. Also I would like to fold it up and lay it in the back when not in use.

Ive seen rainglers online but Im not paying $200 for one. I seen a flyer for a place in calgary that sold them, pretty cheap too. But I can't for the life of me remember where it was.

I would like a net all the way around the rear but need one for between the seats and cargo area asap.

I can't speak for their cargo type nets, but I've been running one of their shade tops for two years and it's been great.

How about a net for less than 10 bucks?


Goalie net works great and is strong as hell.  Just dye it black

There's a guy on eBay who sells them within Canada. I don't recall the price

Actually it doesn't, I walked away from the jeep once and she jumped out and was hanging by her neck....

Will look into the nets, thanks brothers.

That's all we use, well a chain... but we fastened it to the seat-belt anchors in the middle of the floor gives her full range of motion without being able to get body parts out the side of the jeep

I did too.... but she's not to bright.

Literally, her body was outside the jeep head was in.

yea i can see that.  mine wears a harness wasn't an issue, but she is small too.  still freaked me out when she was standing and looking out the open back.  of course now that she is older, she is a good passenger.  a few times falling off the seat and she knows what not to do when the jeep is moving.

we have a harness and a leash that clicks into the seat belt, works great and its adjustable for different lenghts.  Also doogles, the dog loves them, sure you get pulled over but only because the cops wanted to take a picture.....

Ah yeah, (it's been a while since I've had the top down...) we use a harness too... it fastens at her chest so that keeps her more in the jeep, she can't get her body out no mater what direction she tries to go... although I did open the tail gate at the dog park and out she jumped :P there she was hanging upside down a few inches off the ground, she didn't appreciate that much

I do like that net that was linked, the inside one and the outside, I may look into that.

Hey - had the same thing happen AV - but I was driving around a corner in town here - her rear feet just touched the ground - we were lucky because she would have gone under a rear swamper if the leash had been longer

She only rides in the front or with the soft top on now - scared the hell out of me - wife says I was so quick jumping out and throwing her back in that the jeep never stopped rolling before I hopped back in (in the middle of an intersection of course)

Holy cow! At least I wasn't moving when it happened! She's good in the sense if I'm driving she stays in no issues. I used to roll around in the bronco topless and she was fine, its the seperation issue. She's basically attached to my hip 24/7.

I ordered the net from dirtydog, they are out of ontario which is cool. Was $96 delivered.

We use a harness for Charlie & Buster when the top's down. The seat belt goes through a loop in the back of the harness and clips in. It doesn't restrict basic movement (lying down, ect) so it's comfortable for them and keeps them safe.

I have a very happy Golden Retreiver and in a pinch have used a 2 leash method.  One leas on each side of the roll bar.  Keeps him mostly centred in the back seat and he can still lay down and be comfortable.
