I was curious as to how folks secure their beloved Corgis in their cars when they travel. Since she was about 12 lbs. Lucy has ridden in a booster seat that allows her to see out the window; she is…Continue

Bridge phobia?

Lucy does not like walking across bridges. Does anyone know why? It can be a foot bridge or a small bridge (concrete, guard rail) over a brook or stream. On approach, she will either sit and refuse…Continue

Lucy came through her surgery just fine--thank goodness--and so far so good as far as her incision is concerned. Her incision doesn't seem to bother her at all. Unfortunately, I can't leash walk her…Continue

"we use a soft-sided crate for car rides. It has a metal frame with canvas and mesh sides, purchased at Petco. I used to let him ride in the car unrestrained, then one day I was hit by a red-light runner. Sidney was NOT with me, but the impact was so…"

Laura Rochette replied to Laura Rochette's discussion Suggestions for safe car travel?

"Everyone above has given great advice. Thank you for the very thoughtful comments about both crates and harnesses. A couple of brand name harnesses helps me too as I figure this out. I did buy one at PetCo and did find it hard to adjust to size and…"

"I drive a Miata, so the dogs have to ride in the front seat. I turn off the passenger side air bag. The dogs wear a Champion seatbelt harness. You can check them out here: http://usak9outfitters.com/CCSS.htm . Most harnesses from a pet store…"

Potus replied to Laura Rochette's discussion Suggestions for safe car travel?

"We have the same set up as Karen and Potus loves it, makes it super easy to go from travelling to walking as soon as we arrive somewhere.Also, like Karen we don't use the harnesses that attach to lap belts- the poor pup gets tangled up, but…"

"Mine are always in the back seat, just like kids. The air bag could kill them so they stay in the back."

Terry Irene Blain replied to Laura Rochette's discussion Suggestions for safe car travel?

"This sounds like the harness we use for our two dogs Smokey (Scottish terrier) and Bandit (the corgi). If we don't need to take agility stuff, we go in my Saturn and they get clipped into the back seat. They can sit up or lay down…"

Karen Dadisman replied to Laura Rochette's discussion Suggestions for safe car travel?

Profile Information

Hometown:: Concord

About Me:: I'm a Humanities teacher and Debate Coach, living in Concord, NH. I am a proud new owner (or she owns me!) of Lucy the Pembroke Welsh Corgi! She is a beautiful, sweet, peppy puppy!

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

About My Corgi(s):: Lucy, now 10 months, is a chewer, not a barker, except when ignored by my two cats. She is all red along her back and the hint of sable there when she was younger is now dark red. But her chest and legs are white--typical Corgi markings. She'll eat anything and learns very quickly when there are hot dogs or cubes of cheese involved.

I have:: Pembroke

As for your concern about her eating things- I have the same problem. Trash is a big issue, as are pieces of mulch, pinecones, etc. As for grass and dirt, Camden does the same. Normally this isn't a problem, but pay close attention to what is in the dirt. I've had incidents that he wasn't eating grass, he had found rabbit droppings. Those kinds of things can lead to parasite problems (Camden had giardia) but worms could also be transferred by feces. You just have to be vigilant. Has she had a recent fecal sample done?
