Today I experienced a new challenge how to manage a car system to suit our big dogs. It's really incomparable and knowledgeable too. Happy to see you got the final solution and rebuild the back of the car into a dog safe area. Anyway, for installing any car system, I would recommend <a href="https://www.carsystemsinstallation.ca/page/acura" rel="nofollow">Acura Dash Cam Installation</a> for the guys in the respective area. Thank you very much for sharing such a helpful project.

Facilities are a lot better in the US.<br />In Denmark they are best compared with shelters, usually no fun and entertainment for the dogs, just a walk.<br /><br />There are some exceptions, but they are difficult to come into.Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-91149013892095239322010-07-20T23:13:59.359+02:002010-07-20T23:13:59.359+02:00I think it would take a lot of work to get Viva to...I think it would take a lot of work to get Viva to a point where you could board her and have her be fine with it - not worth it if you have the option or the want to take her with you, in my book... =] <br /><br />We plan to board when we go to conferences - have not done it yet, and plan on doing an overnighter as a test-run beforehand. So long as the dogs are kept busy and everything, they are usually okay. I work, once in a while, at a doggie daycare/boarding facility... and even the dogs with separation anxiety do okay when they are being played with and loved! (Though they'd prefer to be with their parents, that's for sure!) <br /><br />Glad you are taking Kenzo and Viva with you, in any case. =] I'm sure they will have lots of fun - and that's worth it!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519840534826809959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-85292967306340648522010-07-20T22:49:42.026+02:002010-07-20T22:49:42.026+02:00@Edie

I will correct it in the text.<br /><br />For me it was also pretty amazing all that gear was ready available and even existed. We just browsed through some different catalogs on internal websites from wholesellers they had access to and ordered it for the correct car type. You would be amazed what more I even could even ordered. And it just took them 2 hours to set everything up.<br /><br />The clothes buying thing is not the smartest. But I was thinking, if my spouse would read it, it could be a good idea to hint a little bribe.<br /><br />Frankie would be hard to bribe I can see, it is best you don't tell him :)Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-9529109491374803872010-07-20T22:27:21.200+02:002010-07-20T22:27:21.200+02:00@JJ
... and you always make me *blush* :) Thank yo...@JJ<br />... and you always make me *blush* :) Thank you for your kind words.<br /><br />I don't want to judge people finding a good place to stay for their dog while on vacation, but also for me it is difficult to see any benefit in it. We did think about it with Kenzo a couple of times, but eventually decided to take him with us. Knowing he would miss us and not sure how he would react to spending time away from us. I also couldn't miss him for one single day, that would just be horrible. Sunset beach walks would be boring. No buddy to do some tracking. So for us, it just won't work.<br /><br />For Viva we don't even consider it. She has been traumatized twice being left in a shelter by her family and no way we are going to leave her behind and re-open old scars. I am no behaviorist and don't know what it will do with her, but my feeling says it just can't be good.<br /><br />So adding all those things together, you can see we had to find a way, there is no other option :)<br /><br />Viva jumped in right away and was waiting to leave. Anticipating a car trip to some fun place. Kenzo was, as always, reserved. He jumped in to check those new things out and jumped out again. It was a short test drive, we try again tomorrow.Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-32464263289126431652010-07-20T21:51:43.032+02:002010-07-20T21:51:43.032+02:00Wow -- great solution. But when you say "the ...Wow -- great solution. But when you say "the workshop" do you mean an auto repair shop? If so, that's really impressive. I can't imagine anyone in a U.S. garage being able to do anything like it.<br /><br />Be careful about that clothes buying though -- unless you plan to ship everything back by mail...<br /><br />I'm not going to tell Frankie about this post, incidentally. He thinks if I provided him with a smoother ride -- say, an Escalade -- he wouldn't have a problem with cars. If he hears that someone else is buying a larger car just for their dogs, he'll be very jealous.Ediehttp://willmydoghateme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-19002627696084927142010-07-20T21:48:46.167+02:002010-07-20T21:48:46.167+02:00You never cease to surprise me with your dedicatio...You never cease to surprise me with your dedication and willingness to work with/for your dogs to find a solution that works for them.<br /><br />I mean. <br /><br />Really.<br /><br />I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but I'm taken aback, impressed, and just crazy about this idea.<br /><br />I don't know many other people that would take their car to have this kind of work done just so they could take the dogs on vacation, too. They'd just leave them behind.<br /><br />This is kind of inspiring - just in case anyone tells me it can't be done, I now know that a little planning and creativity are all you really need. It can so be done.<br /><br />How do the doggies like it so far? Viva looked pretty ready to go in that picture. =]JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519840534826809959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-45686325322011940502010-07-20T19:18:01.369+02:002010-07-20T19:18:01.369+02:00@RoxanneHawn

We don't expect this to be anything more then a temporary solution.<br /><br />Looking ahead we expect more and more business trips as our company grows. And I like to take my whole family with me on those trips, no matter what. After summer we will also start driving to the beach weekly, but those as shorter trips so no problem there.<br /><br />Eventually, secured crates is the best option. We will go for that, whatever car would fit around them will do.Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-74558615203446743652010-07-20T18:49:19.073+02:002010-07-20T18:49:19.073+02:00That is a creative solution.

We ran into a problem transporting our big dog, when I bought a MUCH smaller car last year.<br /><br />Thankfully, I had the option/ability to keep my older, bigger car for the few times a year he needs a ride.Roxanne @ Champion of My Hearthttp://www.championofmyheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-4146607445669048672010-07-20T18:40:45.434+02:002010-07-20T18:40:45.434+02:00Thank you Amy!
