Yea, I'm not so much interested for crash purposes as far as saving him from injury in a crash, but more just to keep him in his seat instead of trying to lay on my lap while I drive. Not sure if it would work or not, but all of the sudden he's decided he should be able to lay across my lap and sleep while I drive.
It's annoying and dangerous when a small dog does it, it's painful and dangerous when a 90lb dog does it.
From what I can see of the various harnesses there isn't much that would keep them safe in their seat during a crash, with a harness they are like a soap on a rope and with out it they are tossed wherever gravity takes them. IMO, there isn't a truly good answer to the problem, I'd rather not get smashed in the head by a 90lb dog in a rollover crash, but we don't always get what we want I suppose.

Thanks for the link, it was interesting.

It's actually not a seatbelt harness. I just leave her leash on and stuff toss it between the seats when she's in the truck. Since she's a service dog, she goes everywhere with me, but rarely gets left in the truck to wait unless it's maybe the gas station. I just hate having to fish for her leash or having to scramble to hook her up when I call her out of the truck, so it stays. Maybe try making a slip loop around the setback with a second leash? That would be my suggestion. Cheap and relatively effective.

But for the sake of information, her harness is an Elite K9 tactical patrol harness w/ cobra buckle (model number MH016) : http://www.elitek9.com/Tactical-Patr...uctinfo/MH016/

Her collar is a Fight and Flight Proioxis collar (also with a cobra buckle, which to me is worth the extra cost over the plastic side release buckle) : http://www.fightandflight.com/index....ollar-481.html

Edit to add: I believe I got Rosie a medium collar and large harness, but she could have gone with a medium harness. Both are on the smaller side of their total available adjustment. For reference, she's about 55 lbs and stands approximately 18" at the shoulders, and about a 29" chest, which I'm sure is pretty close to what Goofy is, considering that Rosie is an American Bulldog / Boxer mix.

Edit to add: I got Rosie a large harness and medium collar. Both are adjusted down to the smaller end of their total adjustment. She's about 55 lbs and 18" at the shoulders with a 29" chest, which looks pretty close to Goofy's size.

Great Dane?

If so, I have a seven year old blue male.

Retired 2 year old Greyhound. A great dog. I'd get another without hesitation.
