Good ideas! Those seat-restraint things are such a great safety idea in general--especially with dogs that get dangerously excited in a car. Here's a link to one reputable company that carries them:

I love the behavior modification suggestion as well. Don't even start the car if they're too hyper; just go back into the house. It could work!
