Can't say I've ever done it. My GSP is always in his crate which is tied down. I would hate for him to go flying across the pavement if I had to hit the brakes or were in an accident.  :twocents:

I usually hauled my dogs in plastic crates in the bed of my truck, but never tied the crate down. Now I've got a canopy and they still usually ride in a crate, unless it's just a short trip over to Scatter Creek for a run, then sometimes they just ride loose in the back, under the canopy. I never realized there was a law about that. I'm sure I've violated it several times.

benbo30:
i normally put the leash on my dog in the bed , but sometimes i dont if im only going down the road or something she is fine like that and i never been pulled over for it , i dont think it is enforced very much

big ed:
my dog has her own seat in the truck cab.she is a little spoiled but that all right .I figure as long as she is safe.she can sit any where she wants except the driver seat.
