carboot troubles

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

When you're sitting in your car, can you see the dogs? Or are they actually inside a closed trunk, behind the seats? I do know a few people who allow their dogs in the trunk, but bend down the seats so they can get in and out as they please and have breathing space. However, are you talking about a car with a hatchback perhaps (like a station wagon)? That's what I'd assume a carboot was..

What we have is called a hatch back with a parcel shelf that can be removed so the dogs have the same air we have in a car. I put my dogs in the boot too but they are in a dog carrier because they are terriers and they are not in there any longer than 1 hour then they are taken out and exercised very well and given plenty of water they love it they sleep most of the time so its great.

So katrina is not locking them up.

By the way katrina when you are putting them in try putting in some treats first and putting the pup in first then the other dogs and then try it the other way around. Try this a few times without going anywhere and then try a spin down the road and back and slowly make the journey's longer. My friend has two Rotwiellers (sp) and she had the same problem with the pup and now she has no problem at all.

Wait I think everyone might be getting the wrong idea.

Your car, the boot has a window right? It isn't flat with no ventilation like in a sedan. Your car is like a compact car in american with the boot being the back of the car with a window. Kinda like the back of a station wagon?
