Default For those leaving pets in the car

I thought I would share as many here are dog owners and actually let their dogs ride in their cars. As many know, our cars have motion sensors in the car, so you can't lock the car with dogs in them, but you can deactivate the motion sensor if you press the lock button twice within two seconds.

It was news to me so I thought I would share

When left my Rhodesian Ridgeback in my car, locking it was unnecessary.

With Ridgeback in the car, the windows were always open, no need to break glass. However, anyone who had tried to remove her from the car, or even opened one of the doors, would have probably ended up in an emergency room. She was extremely protective of her territory and very effective in making it absolutely clear to anyone who approached the car that she was "on-duty". In our many years together, and countless car trips, no one ever failed to understand that tampering with "her car" was not a good idea. Anyone "waiting"for me would have discovered that she was also very protective of "her family".

I think he was referring to animals experiencing heat exhaustion due to being left inside a boiling car for too long.

...they tend to not be so "protective" when near death.

Sounds like a roasted doggie/injured person lose/lose situation.

Not "lose /Lose" when driving top down with your best friend, ears flowing in the wind (his)! And he never complains like the wife that his hair is getting mussed.

Seriously, the Roadie harness is well designed and hooks to the seat belt retractor just in case. Allows him movement from front seats to the rear seat ledge and back down unless a sudden stop occurs. You can then unhook from the seat belt when taking a break and just hook your leash on for a walk.

NOTE: I NEVER leave my dog in the car on hot/sunny days...

My dog will go home with anyone, I am more afraid of someone taking him.

Thank you for the tip! I have been struggling with the alarm issue for over a year now!! I can now leave my doodle alone for the times I have to run into the store. I totally agree with your point, I won't leave him there on a hot day and I'm more afraid of him going with someone else than losing the car.

Allt these silly people acting like dogs are not for cars... grow up. They love to travel with you and exploring... the 991 is perfect for that;

I had no idea. Where is the motion sensor in the car? And -- Is this 991.1 or 991.2 or both?

I hear what you are saying but I have bloodhounds and well, yeah, these are no good for the 911. (That's what my Defender is for, I take the dogs everywhere...


I did however have one of them in my 944 Turbo when she was a puppy.

Best way to carry a pup... and, honestly, the reason why I bought the 911. Laid out a bed in the back seat for the pup. Safe, secure, and comfortable. Also never have to worry about air bag sensors and never heard of motion sensors unless you have some sort of alarm system?

Picture is view between the seats.

He goes everywhere!

Good tip to know. I wondered why my alarm goes off when he is in the 911 and I stop in the shop. Even when he is in a soft crate the alarm goes off.
