Dogs in the tub - advice?

[sumodog68]

We travel to dog competitions regularly and meet a lot of fellow dog owners. With utes canopy and crate is the best method . Tub liners are slippery and will be unsuitable for dog travel . Definitely no chaining the dogs in the tub.
Cant go into detailed dog training principles here but as a rule you don't reward a dog that is scared, uncomfortable or stressed. Reward is for desirable behaviour .

There is difference between what you can do and what is a good practise.
I travel for many hours at highway speeds and expect dogs to perform on arrival so in my case it is not an option.

fair call, I chain mine on and hope it's there when I get to the destination,

Rubber ute matting (the one with the holes) from Clark Rubber.
Chest plate harnesses from ezy-dog.
Adjustable short webbing straps, got ours from eBay.
Eye bolts in centre of tub head board or similar.
4 of our dogs all love it to a greater or lesser degree.
