They look like they make some nice cages

But i have to say my preference is http://www.lintran.co.uk and this is purely a personal opinion and not meant to offend.

This is the cage I went for purely because they are made of a material that keeps the dogs cool in the hot whether and warm in the winter , well that is there claim anyway

I'm waiting for the dog version of this which has proved very useful for carrying our cats around.

Muttley, I am on your wavelength

So I need to get escape hatches fitted to my car to get rid of my kids. Sounds like a plan.

Don't get me wrong Rosco

What benefits do these have? I'm genuinely intrigued if I am missing something.
I just put mine in the boot with a half-height dog guard.
I suppose I'm lucky as he doesn't chew. Yes the boot gets a bit muddy (rubber mat helps) but that cleans off. He's trained not to jump out unless I give the command to do so.
Is it the cleanliness?

I use a hatch bag and dog guard, plus I made a fly screen to fit using sand colour mesh and old flexi tent poles to make it spring fit for quick fitting and removal but it will probably never come out, no need really. It's more to stop dog hair entering the cabin space than flies

Has anyone tried the Boot Buddy and Safe-D-Guard (horrible name!)?

A Perspex dog guard. Clearly not as secure in an accident but better for visibility.

@ Emperor Mong

We have always used cages and just my personal opinion they are safer for the dogs and this one with solid sides , when they start shaking and the drool splatters it can't go very far and these are known as cool cages and they do work

I would feel like I'm putting them in a little doggy prison. I know the dog couldn't care less...

Which reminds me of a funny story.

We were about to get our first puppy and had bought a dog cage to help house train him. However, the kids (4 and 6 at the time) thought it was a great game to go in the cage as a play den.

Anyway, I was running a £750mio deal for a FTSE 100 company. It needed a delicate conference call at the weekend to keep everything on track. I was leading the call with my lawyers, the client's lawyers and my syndicate bankers on the line - all very high powered.

My 4 yo boy ran into my study where I was holding the call and started going "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" very insistently. I stopped what I was saying and told the other participants that I just needed to deal with my son. Foolishly, I did not mute the line.

"What do you want mini-Emperor?" I asked.

"Daddy, can you lock me in the cage again, please?"

It took some explaining.
