good to see, nice and calm
my malamute travels in the rear behind a barrier, on the front seat or in the back, depends on his mood. No restraints. Am I breaking the law, yes. Outside town is always in the rear and in town he is well behaved. Now some of you should jail me
cheers

Blaze behind a cargo barrier is legal in all States according to what I've read.

I've checked pretty carefully on all the govt sites and believe it is not law that you must restrain a dog travelling inside your vehicle (back of a ute - yes). It may not sit on your lap or otherwise interfere with your control of the vehicle. However, you may be prosecuted if your animal is injured due to not being restrained. Sitting in the front passenger seat without restraint is dangerous for man or beast, but I sometimes allow my small dog to ride in the passenger footwell (with some cushions for padding). He usually rides in the back on the bed wink but is afraid of the rear window wiper You wouldn't take him travelling with you if you didn't love him, so, common sense for his safety biggrin

When traveling with your pet, i suggest that you use this dog carrier because it is convenient solution for traveling with your pet. Ideal for dogs, these carriers promote bonding and companionship between pets and their owners. Equipped with a breathable mesh net, your dog will be comfortable inside while traveling.
