The doghouse

Urgent question regarding harness in car

Due to leave for a long journey with one terrier tomorrow morning. I live rurally and won't have time to get to any shops. I can't find terrier's harness. So I have her ordinary collar ( and lead of course) and the seatbelt attachment. Is there a way I can improvise and make a harness so that the poor dog isn't strangled by the seatbelt attachment being attached to her collar? I did google this but was rather confused with the answers

Is she normally well behaved? Once ended up with dog on the gear stick having escaped her collar!

Do you have a dog crate you could pop in boot?

I think you might have to stop at a shop on the way and buy a harness. I would be comfortable using a seat belt attachment onto a collar for a long journey.

I second getting a harness of crate.
If you have to brake sharply you could strangle your dog or even break her neck!

Yes think I need to stop on the way really! Have had such fun and games trying to follow a youtube vid showing how to turn dog lead into a harness! Poor dog thinks she's been just about to go for a walk for the past half and hour!
