My experience comes from having and being around dogs all my life. I’ve trained my own dog and have a lot of experience traveling with her. I am very attentive to taking the best care of my dog and my families dogs when they need help. I am very patient with them and they love me. My van is heaven for dogs. The back seat is made into a bed. It has a leash attached to it for me to hook my dog into when I need her to stay in the back. The middle seats have been removed and there is a permanent dog bowl behind the passenger seat for food and water. There is a cooler which is always stocked with plenty of water and a dresser which holds supplies like, dog food, dog poop bags, extra leash, extra collars and harnesses, coats, a cooling vest and cooling towels, dog treats and many other just Incase items. Even a doggy life jacket. The front seat has a dog bed seatbelted to it and another leash up front to use when I need to secure my dog to the front seat. Most the time it’s free reign of “the big blue dog house”. I have a fenced yard at home where the dogs love to run. I’ve had experience with my dog in many different situations. Hiking, driving long distance, kayaking, dog parks etc. I spend more time around dogs than humans.
