Anyone transport a dog in their TVR?
Discussion
Quick question that may have been asked before but cant find anything relating to it.
Does anyone take their dog in their TVR.
I have a Tuscan, and a Cocker Spaniel who always goes anywhere that myself and my wife do, but she is so keen to look out the window (prefers looking out the back than forwards or side) and thus is fine in the boot of the Golf or TT, but wont sit on the footwell floor of the Tusc.
Now, the rear shelf of the Tuscan looks to be perfect size for her to comfortably sit on, but I am not prepared to do it unless she is wearing her harness so that she is contained in event of accident and also doesnt do myself or wfie any damage if we brake suddenly etc........
So, is it possible to fit anchor points for her to be attached to?

Yes.
I have an anchor point through the rear vertical wall between the speakers. I drilled 2 holes and fitted a u bolt to a strengthening bar behind the carpet in the boot.
Fits our lab so should be ok for yours.

I was stunned when I saw this dog hop out of the Tamora at the Malton meet a few weeks ago. So relaxed too! Pic from Malton.
You still can't actually see the bracket though. I'll take a picture of it at some point.
When I had a Chimaera, I had a plate made up which went underneath the top mount for the nearside seat belt and then used a regular car harness for the dog (Labradoodle) which attached to the plate with a short strap with carabiner clips at both ends.
The dog could then keep the harness on for the journey....and have a lead attached when a call of nature occured en route! Simples!
Dixie's (the dog) preferred travel position was backside on rearshelf and paws on centre console...must have been a vibration/heat thing! (or else a good view through the windscreen)
