How about folding the back seat down and giving the Shepard access to the trunk? My Doxies love that...but they're a bit smaller than a 100# Shepard.

Trailer hitch fits right on, no mods needed. Reese/Drawtite make it. 1-1/4" receiver style.
Have one on mine for my bicycle rack.

Now its change to I will look in to a approved dog trailer.

Quite a bit of difference from the first post.

yes it was a bit of a change..but i came in not knowing..it was just a thought and instead of people pointing out i can get approved trailers or other ways of doing it or so they just jumped on me about it lol so i went online and did my own research and found i can get specific trailers for that..regardless of it..its still a trailer thats going to be hooked to the back of my car the same way with a hitch.

hahaha everybody just went off on you. hilarious. But seriously though, put your passenger seat down (fold it forward) and just fold the backseat. He should be able to fit. I don't think that is animal cruelty. lmao

Well, actually...yeah sometimes.

In some places you even have to pay extra for it.

things are different when you're a human or a dog.

Um ever been to a mall and seen a child on a leash. That is like saying your kid is a monkey and cant be controlled.

and my camaro is my only form of transportation so other cars are not an option..
ANY THOUGHTS?..maybe where i can get a small trailer/hitch or so?

Would anyone happen to know the smallest sizes and the prices these things run for?
AND lastly if im going to have to mod the rear end at all like hooking up a hitch or something to my body?

Pretty sure someone already pointed this out, but its AGAINST THE LAW!

I know for a fact that Curt Manufacturing makes one to fit the 2011 Vert. They used my Vert to design it. It bolts right up with no mods needed as far as I know.
Sorry I have no idea what the price is.
They offered to give me one for free for allowing them to use my Vert, but I politely declined the offer, not because I would have a problem with putting one on my Vert (to the horror of everyone here), but simply because I already have one on my other car, an 08 Malibu.

What is the cost of the dog trailer? $2500? You can buy a good beater to haul the dog for that.
What is the average temperature in Fresno? 105? Is the trailer air conditioned?
What comes out of the back of a Camaro? Heat and exhaust fumes?
Do you have smooth roads in Fresno? Or will the trailer make a mixed breed out of your dog?
If I had to make a choice, I would put my wife in a trailer and let the dog sit in front.
