Stopping dog from getting under van and escaping.

[Frankparkhouse]

Try as I might. I cant find anything to run alongside the van to keep the dog in.
I was thinking sectional plastic fencing about 7 meters in length, about 300-400ml high.
It was easy in a caravan as we had the awning skirt. No channel on the van for one though.

Put poppers or channel along the side and use a caravan skirt

Or get a bigger dog

Oh right I must have missed the puppy

He doesn’t he has a puppy as he mentioned in his post. There are many who appear to think they don’t need to train their dog, and I’m advising that they should, and by doing so will give them and their dog a better, more enjoyable, and relaxed life.

thing??

All said and done what if you have an older rescue dog and he hasn’t been trained!! My older lurcher is as they say hard to teach !! He has a very strong prey drive and can smell a rabbit for instance a mile away, hence his wanting to escape, btw I attach him to a long nylon wire lead in a Westfield pro edition windbreak but he can if not attached ,get under the van .

We once had a rescue lurcher with a very strong prey drive and the same traits (thought to have been used for coursing etc). Seemed to be able to see a rabbit/squirrel/rat/deer etc from a mile away (but didn’t target small dogs). There was no training that out of him at his stage of life, having been actively encouraged to do so during his formative years by previous ‘custodians’. Other than that he was a cracking dog.

BTW - we use ground spike and tether when pitched.

As always the answer is a combination. Always on a lead and as trained as possible. I say this after decades of rescue & pedigree dogs. It is dangerous for even the best trained animal to be off lead if spooked or enticed. Long lead attached around wheel spokes gives them enough freedom to get into sun or shade but not leave the pitch. You don’t have to carry all the other kit then. Just don’t forget the lead when you drive off…

I bought these, I had to cut a bit out around the door, but along with our dometic windbreaks they make a perfect prison for our little pooch.

Plus his vehicle is new and there was NO WAY he was going to screw anything to the side. 35cm height. 35cm high with 15cm support leg. No fixing required on vehicle or caravan. These then could be sanded slightly to remove any rough edges.

Jormax skirts are good.....

Have you tried anchoring dogs with a heavy duty screw in ground spike especially made for the purpose

They are cruel.

It's cruel as it works on causing the dog pain.

We've had most of our dogs from broken homes, rehoming centres, and also a stray who decided to adopt us, so early training was out of the question as they weren't pups. Some were very good at training, others were not, all were lovely but we never lost sight of the fact that any dog, just like humans, can react in a totally out of character way at times.

Our 2 young ones are lovely, one adores everyone and everything and we have never had any concern with her, our other was frightened as a pup by 3 large dogs that stood round her, they were friendly but after her initial enjoyment of saying hi to them she got worried and has been cautious since so her 'answer' to this is to bark and/or run over to dogs to see what their reactions are. It's a habit we're trying constantly to get her out of and are making progress but we know we can never fully trust her because of this so when out she wears a harness with a 4ft tether so we can grab/stand on it if needs be.

We used long tethers (washing line) to keep them secure which are latched with karabiners to the hab door catch so they can potter in and out and have a play however the downside is that they have invented new types of knots as they roll around and chase which can be a pain to undo!

They were also to be banned in England but it hasn't been confirmed yet but hopefully will be soon

Government confirms shock collar ban in England | Pet Business World

The Government has laid legislation which will completely ban the use of hand-held remote-controlled electric shock collars in England, to take effect from February 1, 2024. Shock collars deliver an electric shock to a dog’s neck via a remote control, and shocks can last for up to 11 seconds at...

We’re concerned that the use of electric shock collars to punish or control dogs or cats is open to abuse and can cause welfare and training problems.

[Silver-Fox]

Keep it on a lead then.

Or use screw in tent pegs through its paws




It’s a joke before anyone gets all worked up

 

[Minxy]

For those who think shock collars are okay, ask yourself one question, would you use one on a child? I doubt it.

Err yes I would on some of these feral things runing around these days

I thought it was.

Humour is subjective, just like how you book rallies

It makes me smile...

Dog loving owners having to go to such lengths to stop their darling, pampered pets from running away from them.

That would entirely depend on the child.
A crucial training tool to employ situationally from their formative years through adolescence.

Wouldn’t use one on a dog though.

If using the ground spike or the long lead be aware that awning poles are fair game for snaping when the dog gets the urge to to a zoomi game!

Of some lilos, they will be cheap can be squished to fit without being fastened and pack small.
