Goat control button cover

[max the dog]

Dog stepped on traction control button, locked dif., unlocked trac. control, in general if he had thumbs I'd be in a mess. Is there a cover available to prevent button pushing?

my first question is why is he allowed in the front area

 

[RiotfunK]

Haven’t seen anything. Keep dog on passenger seat or in the back

If you've got an antsy pup, definitely get him a harness with a seat belt attachment and keep him in the backseat. Not safe for you nor him if he's bouncing around the vehicle enough to accidentally push buttons.

i See this all the time. my brother almost wrecked his super duty because of the dog in his lap. Border Collie I think she is. Cute but not a small dog. How is this not illegal. I’m in a beach town right now. Dogs everywhere not on leashes or secured. dogs on the lap sticking heads out the window living their best life…great, but the driver is basically impaired. what about the peoples lives in the car on the other lane…which you can’t see because dog is blocking blind spot/ rear view. Think.

People everywhere not taking responsibility for their animals.

loss of attention
loss of situational awareness
cant reach controls or manipulate them
and now, dogs trampling on the drivetrain controls

They don’t comprehend safety or consequences … like children. they don’t get jail time or community service. They live in the moment.

You are not punishing your animal by leashing it and putting it in the cargo area which the BS has. A perfect spot for pups.

I got one of these for the doggo:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L79CY5M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Protects the back seat and puts up a short barrier between the two front seats so she can't come up front.

this is the way

You might be able to get someone to 3D print one for you. I haven’t seen anyone offering commercially, but then I haven’t been looking.

I hear you. I couldn't imagine trying to drive with our Collie in the front seat, nevermind on my lap. She's phenomenal in the car and will just lay in the backseat immediately and not make a peep (except for occasional grumbles if she realizes we're not yet at the park ). We did clip her in as a puppy and reinforce good behavior in the vehicle with praise and treats. As much as I love Maple, I'd never let her ride up front. On top of the distractions for me, an accident could kill her.

How many more people are going to feel the need to preach to the OP about where a dog should be in their vehicle? We know nothing about the dog or where the OP was driving when the dog stepped on the GOAT sensor switch.

This is where I'm at lol. This seemed to escalate excessively - a good message, granted, but still. I'd gladly 3D print something for you OP. Sadly my Bronco sport isn't born yet...but with some dimensions and photos I could make something.

Could probably even make it so you can still press buttons through cutouts smaller than doggo's paws

I gather it has happened and will keep happening.

I thought I might need some kind of cover for myself. I’ve gotten drivetrain lights from resting things on those selectors. Need to keep that area completely clear. Problem solved. It’s a vehicle, not a junk drawer or a lounge.

Seriously. Wait until everyone hears this was done while he was parked, ignition off at a park, with the keys in the cargo area, four wheels were chocked.

I’d be interested in this too, I just made another thread about this exact issue.

I can care less what others are trying to preach, they don’t know my pup and my set up
