Yeah, same for my shepherd too!

I was think about these but how would the dog get in a frs with this? The door doesn't open that wide and not sure this would allow the seat to fold forward correctly. Never thought I'd say this but an rx8/Saturn/veloctor 3rd door would be nice

Does that tear up the console?
I'm not crazy about him tracking mud, snow or whatever through the passenger seat after a hike.
I'm so used to letting the dog in through the hatch in the mini. Blankets in the back and the front seats stay clean (well some hair flows up there)

I think my dog could handle sitting in the passenger seat but I don't think he could lay down on it which would make long trips Tough (occational 3.5 hr drives t my parents' house) I'll have to see how far the front seat moves back for sitting on the floor in the front

The dogs enter like how a human would enter the back seats.

Whining and complaining the whole time?

My dog (45 lb beagle) rides in the back seat almost every day. I covered the back seat with a fabric shower curtain and black towels to keep it clean. I tried buying a dog seat cover but it fit very poorly. I just fold the front seat forwards and he climbs in, the only difficult part is buckling him in. He also gives me a back massage through the seat as I drive.

Mine usually hops in from the trunk but occasionally likes to jump in from the driver seat/center console if I leave my door open and look away lol.

Either you pull the seat up every time, sacrifice your center console, or sacrifice your rear bumper. Rear bumper may be saved with a protective sticker but never tried it.

As members stated, its decent. I dont recomend swing style cover, however.

These are best

Got one after dog started shedding like no tomorrow and after xgf threw up in back seat. X <$20 at Walmart.

I have a 60lb Border Collie/German Shepherd...and he doesn't like the front seat. He seems more comfortable in the back seat, but I haven't tried putting the back seat down and letting him sit in the trunk. I'm gonna try that soon and see how it works.

We got a German Shepherd pup in March. He’s now 6 months old and nearly 30 kilos. He hops in to the back seat and curls up on a dog bed with his head on the centre console. We live about 100km from where we go for training, so he does 2 x 100km trips each week, which he really loves.

Today I had to transport a toaster oven as well as Max, so I folded the seat down. I think he likes the flat bit better, though I need to rig it up so he can still clip into the seatbelt.

My 85 pound Weimie is fine in the back seat. But he is a good jumper and can get in the back seat without a problem.
