Kurgo Direct to Seat-Belt Tether

We regularly make a 6 hour cross state trip with our pups to visit my parents, my cocker spaniel does great with this, my GSD on the other hand does fine until she decides she wants to move. It last about 8 second or less once she starts chewing. We've gone through three and finally I decided to order a chew resistant one for her, which frustrates me because there are no durable options that are crash tested safety belts instead of just convenience restraints. Why did I spend $50 on a kurgo safety vest if they refuse to make a tether that can stand up to a large breed dog?

I bought this to keep my Service Dog safer in the car since he is always with me in the car. He is a Great Pyrenees mix at about 80lbs. Unfortunately this strap does not have enough length for him to sit/lay down in a comfortable position at all. It also twists awkwardly on the harness since it doesn't have a swivel at the clip.

My young Labrador rides shotgun and if I leave him in the Jeep to run a quick errand (we're talking 5-10 minutes) he has a 50/50 success rate of staying in his seat. He seems to get nervous when I leave even with positive reinforcement when I get back. I also wanted to ensure that during the busy commute, he would be safe and secure if we had to stop short. This tether had good reviews and I wanted the swivel given how wiggly he is. Well, we tried it this morning and I'm so happy it works!! It clipped right into the seatbelt holster and I had already adjusted the length, which was easy to do. He has a front-hook no-pull harness so I'm pleased that even with that, he isn't getting tangled.

He's very tall and it's long enough for him to turn around, sit up or lie down, etc. As I write this review he's curled up, snoozing away. I can't wait to run errands knowing he'll be secure!! … more

The reason I bought this was to keep my dog sitting in place in the car with my kids in tow and for the safety of all of us. However, my dog moves around and then clicks the buckle out of the seatbelt latch and then runs around the car. This has happened multiple times in just a few days of using it, rendering it ineffective. I don’t recommend this unless your dog is very docile and perhaps too little to click the seatbelt when moving around.

I have a 4 month old golden retriever puppy. The first time I took her to the groomer she jumped out of the car, and if I hadn’t been watching for it, the chase would have been on! I researched different options and decided on this. I love that it clips into the seatbelt latch and the large carabiner clip makes it easy to hook to her harness. Easy to use and secure, what could be better.

i really do not recommend this tether unless you do not want your dog to be able to move at all. I purchased 2 of them and am very disappointed. The material quality is great though.

This would be great if made of tougher material. My pup has destroyed 2.5 of them in the last 2 months. The 0.5 was the amount of the tether my 6 mo old Golden Retriever chewed through during yesterday’s 8 minute drive.

I would caution getting a harness if you don't have one already that has a shorter strap on the back. Otherwise it defeats the purpose. Mine has a long strap on the end so although she still had more movement in the car she could only fit her head outside the window. Still a great tool to have.

Works well in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler. I have had no issues with it coming unbuckled. I’d recommend this product.

Restraint came out of Buckle in car and puppy jumped out of the window. Would not recommend
