Default Dogs in NX

Hi - Any dog owners out there? Just wondering how you are protecting your brand new nx. I bought these to protect the seat and keep my super-spaz away from the doors

But even when buckled in, he was able to reach the doors. So now I am considering my options there. Suggestions on what has worked well for you all?

I purchased a rear seat cover that was soft. It covered the entire back seat for my boy dog (45lbs). Then my girl dog is a front seat rider (35lbs), so she sits on my wife's lap and I use beach towels to cover the center console.

I did that in my NX, my wife's IS, and now my 4Runner.

As for a solution to you door issue, guess its a great training opportunity. Take treats in the car, and each time the dog leave the door when you command, it gets a treat. Won't take long.

I purchased same hammock seat protector, but the seat belt portion included harness. Kept having to shorten the leash so dog would stay in one place. Not a perfect solution but works better than nothing.

I have the Weathertech cargo liner and my dog (5.5 kg) enjoys the ride from back there. In a former vehicle, a Volt, he also rode back there.

I use an old blanket on the rear seat. One dog rides on it, the other stays on the floor behind whichever seat my wife is in.

Stays put, with good coverage. You're never going to get absolute protection: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Our dog goes in the hatch. She jumps in, we close the hatch and off to the dog park. The carpet liner comes out and we just vacuum it to remove the dog hair
