Mine prefers to be on the couch in the air conditioning but ever so often I’ll take him for a ride.

 

I use this harness on my service dog:

Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit Dog Car Harness

Crash-tested dog harness for the car ensures you and your dog's safety. Attaches to the dog seat belt or a zipline.

It comes with a short strap to attach the back of his harness to the seatbelt strap. I use that as a keychain. I felt that there would be too much play in it. I want him just as secure as I am.

Kurgo sells a strap that goes from his harness and clips into the stock seatbelt. I'll try to get a couple pics of it in my truck, my RZR isn't here at the moment. Here's the link for this strap:

The Direct to Seatbelt Swivel Tether keeps your dog safe in the care while on the move and gives him the freedom of movement he needs without getting tangled

Whenever mine bears the engine start they come running. They love to ride!

 

Few years ago i took my female aussie along with in the jeep, she hated it. Absolutely hated it.

 

https://mcnastycustomz.com/store/ols/products/mcnasty-customz-paw-tector i saw this a while ago , and thought it was cool. i thought i saw a video on it but can't find it. it looked like it came in and out pretty quickly

 

These guys have almost 18K miles on this Rzr alone. I bet 35-40K miles all together if including our other quads. We have double layer special pads in the back to keep the heat off them. The floor would normally be way too hot.

 

found the video.

 

Had to finally give in and get a 4 seater for the dog. He’s been riding since I got him at 8 weeks. Loves it!

Yep our Weimar is addicted to riding. I got a couple of used seat bases off of eBay and made a platform for him to ride on. Carpeted it and he rides where ever we go.

 

I'm sorry... This is WAY off topic. I occasionally see photos with this photobucket banner covering the picture. Why?

 

Photobucket is a third party website that you can upload your pictures to. Then you can access them from anywhere and also it makes it easy to attach a picture to a forum. It used to be a free website and a year or two ago they started charging so not a lot of people use it, at least not near the amount that used to.

 

Don"t know
I don't see it

Here's my (and I assume everyone else's) view.

 

This is the finished product after carpet was added.

 

Thanks for saying something. Been using Photobucket for years and I didn't realize a logo was attached to it.

 

Just be honest with yourself about the kind of riding you're doing. If it's long easy trails in the mountains then probably all good. If you're riding off-road parks with a lot of obstacles, I'd consider if it is the best thing. God forbid you go over, even being in seatbelts it can be violent for a person. I'd hate to think about a pet being thrown. I've seen a couple nearly launch their dogs out the back of their four seater after being surprised by a sharp turn. We all love RZRs and never plan on accidents, but they do happen and you never can plan on it.

 

Our pit loved to ride with us. Our Bull Terrier hates it. Our German Shepard would probably like it but she is way to big. We didn't use harnesses but we didn't ride anything crazy with the dogs. Just gentle slow cruising on tame trails. We do use a harness that click in the the seatbelt when they are in the truck with us. Except the Shepard. She rides in a strapped down kennel in the truck bed.

 

We got 2 pugs that go everywhere with us, including rzr rides. They don't listen or behave, so to protect them from themselves I added a cage, wrapped it in mesh netting, pipe insulation for padding and plywood/insulation/carpet sandwich for heat protection. I do have to run with no windshield to keep the dust out of the bed, but we're not going fast anyway.

The dogs love it and start howling the moment the rzr rolls out of the garage. Much unlike my spoiled teenage kid.

 

Make you a front winshield out of bug screen (there is a company out there that sells them too). It will give you some protection and should keep the dust out of the bed.

 

Our first two rides had our dogs coated with so much dust they looked like powdered doughnuts. That's why we got rid of the half windshield to allow better flow through air and dust control, but the best thing I did was install our wind wings. No more dust on us or the dogs. Everybody including the cab stays clean.

No dust. Sign me up!
Any chance you can post a picture of your setup?

 

Pretty much a given unless we are hitting it fast or gnarly. If it's a trip in the woods and not really bad - then they both go in the crate I made for the back of the RZR. I used insulated padding all the way around (bottom, front and edges as well as back) and a dog bed on top of that. The side near the dogs isn't even warm to the touch and the ventilation with no windshield works perfect.

Just spent the last 3 days riding (camping and fishing) around 7800ft here to get away from the Pheonix heat. 85 in the hills and 116 at home.. I usually will zip tie a towel to the top of the crate to keep it shaded..

 

I bring a Brittany and a Basset Hound with us everywhere we go. They both love riding. I have the Razorback Off Road expedition rack, Polaris® RZR 1000 Side by Side Expedition Cargo Rack™ - RBO™ , and their UTV Pet Pad, UTV Pet Pad - The Ultimate Pet UTV Accessory for your RZR 1000 . They are well worth the money, built very well, roomy enough for both dogs and I don't have to worry about them falling out or loosing storage as you get the top rack to mount a cooler or box to.

 

Rides on my wife’s lap the whole way and loves it!

 

Like you, our bulldog loves going for rides. That being said, he just can’t get comfortable & safe on the RZR seats. Thought about installing the bench seat in the rear if the XP4 but haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet.

 

I do all the time. He’s a great riding companion. I took the passenger seat out and built him a platform covered in carpet.

 

I’ve got a German Shepard that thinks she owns the Ranger. It doesn’t move without her inside it. She just sits in the back seat, though. No restraints. She prefers ascending but can deal with downhills as needed, lol
