A short tether that stops a dog roaming around the car while you drive.
One end loops over a headrest or clips into the seat belt buckle. The other end has a swivel clip that fastens to a harness. In between is an elastic bungee section, so a sudden stop pulls against something that gives rather than something rigid.
It adjusts from 20 to 27 inches and stretches to about 32 inches at full extension — enough for a dog to sit, lie down or look out of the window, not enough to reach the front seats. The headrest loop adjusts between 16 and 24 inches to fit most headrests. Reflective stitching runs along the webbing, which is useful at a dark car park rather than a safety feature in its own right.
Let out to its full length and unclipped from the car, it works as a short lead for the walk from the car to wherever you are going.
Two things that matter
Clip it to a harness, never to a collar. A collar concentrates any force on the neck. This is the one instruction we would ask you not to improvise around.
Use it in the back. On the back seat a tethered dog cannot reach the driver, and is away from front airbags.
The three modes — headrest loop, buckle clip, and lead — are meant to be used one at a time, not combined.
What this is not
This is a restraint that keeps a dog in one place and out of your way while you drive. It has not been crash tested, and we have no test data from the manufacturer, so we are not going to describe it as crash protection or claim it will hold in a collision. If that is what you are after, you want a certified crash-tested harness system, and we do not sell one.
