Dog Seat Belt Unhappiness

In this video, the dog Rocco voices his displeasure about wearing a dog seat belt. He looks really miserable doesn’t he?

For Rocco, I would recommend that his humans get him a dog car seat. I think that part of Rocco’s unhappiness is because just using a dog seat belt leaves him sitting too low to see out the window.

Also, I wonder how they introduced Rocco to his seat belt. Not all dogs will immediately take to wearing a dog safety belt or dog car harness. If Rocco is food or treat motivated, they should reward him for wearing the harness (without complaining!) so that he associates wearing it with a pleasurable thing. Positive reinforcement goes a long way in animal training.
