Option A: Clip the under-seat hook (C) to the underside of the front
seat’s base plate or springs.
Option B: Run the under-seat straps (F) around the outside footing of
each seat and secure the under-seat hook (C).
Pull top headrest straps (D) tight on both sides. Pull both both under-seat straps (F) tight.
Training:
- Get your dog familiar with riding in the car, focusing on the back seats and not the front. Before setting out on a long road trip with this new product, take some shorter trips to help Fido become adjusted to the Backseat Barrier.
- Most importantly, the understanding of basic obedience really makes the difference for any car ride. Make sure your pup has a grasp of sit, stay, and come, to help create easy-going excursions.
Products displaying this symbol are intended to prevent dogs from entering the front seat where they can interfere with the driver and cause distracted driving accidents. They are intended to serve as either physical barriers to the front seat or restraints that keep pets from roaming around in the car. If used properly, they should keep dogs from entering the front seat, but they cannot guarantee containment nor protect from injury in every situation.
Attaching the barrier to Fixed Headrests
Pull the top headrest strap (D) out of its buckle (E) Wrap headrest strap (D) around the vehicle headrest. Insert strap back through the inner D-ring (A). Bring the strap back around the vehicle headrest and run through the top tension buckle (E). Repeat on the opposite vehicle headrest.
