Help my one of my dogs as demolished the back seat

[blue]

I have taken on 2 very disturbed dogs as I always do. I was thinking I was making serious progress (how stupid could I be) I work 2hours three times a week which isnt alot the rest of the time I work at home. I put the youngest dog in a dog cage and the older dog came with me and I left him in the car with windows open which worked out very well but when it too hot I would leave him in car in garage with garage door open, this worked out very well untill today As I walked towards the garage I saw car seat stuffing all over the car I was horified.
My neighbour kindley helped my to collected the stuffing in a bin bag my back seat is now down to the metal, I am gutted, I put a cover over it to make it look better. Where do I go from here I used to av them both in seperate dog cages put the noise made my other neighbour complain. What am I supposed to do stop working?? Any suggestions?? I use the calming remedies, pretty useless I have found though. Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can only imagine someone or something freaked him out if he has settled comfortably in this situation previously.

Just a thought but is their someone locally who could watch yours and then you return the favor ? alternatively maybe a dog walker for one of the dogs at a time- an hour each- that would be your 2 hours or maybe out together as often second dog is cheaper ?

Just a thought, might be expensive but at least it would be a stop gap solution and take the pressure of a bit ...

Sorry not much advice to give I'm afraid other than what's been suggested already but I do know how you feel as our boy Ernie ate through both front seatbelts within a couple of weeks of arriving and my other half was not best pleased especially as the car was due for it's MOT! Ours aren't left in the car that often but if they are it's muzzles now I'm afraid and once they know they can't wreck anything they go straight to sleep!! Good luck with your two!

Is it an estate car? Would a fitted cage be too expensive?

I am thinking if i take whats left of back seat out and put smaller cage in dont no. Cant really pay any one to take them a walk it wouldnt be worth me working i look after 2 old people and i would let them down if i didnt go but what do i do about dog i will av to look for second hand dog cage so they av one each

Just to say I have a dog crate for sale .. we were given it for the RGT, it fits a Mondeo Estate I think (tho goes in my Freelander ok) and is by Trystorme, I'm doing measurements from memory so I THINK ... 27'' high, 40.5''x36.5'' wide and long. It's got a locking door and keys plus an esacpe hatch at the back- I'm asking £50 for it.

If possible I could post it tho if you are coming down to Birmingham you (or someone) could collect it from the RGT kennels if that's helpful

Please PM me here if you're interested

Its very kind of you too offer but ist is too far to come and collect and it isnt worth sending it will cost too much. I live in Lancashire. Thanks again.

[julies]

I thought that'd be the case ... I was born in Lancashire (and there last weekend ) .. if anyone is going your way I'll see if they can bring it with them

Wow right down to the metal that sounds like a real nightmare. I think the suggestion about the muzzle sounds good but a crate would be even better!
