Those of you who have read my previous blog posts will know that I’m a pretty big fan of crate training. It’s a method that worked really well for us when we added a puppy to our family 10 years ago. Our pup still loves getting into his crate to this day. However, I’m not always such a fan of using the dog crate for car travel. It can be quite awkward getting it in and out of the trunk, it rattles even on smooth roads, and takes up the whole cargo space. In the last year Travall launched a new product, the Travall TailGate. For those of you who haven’t heard of it, it’s a tailgate guard that attaches to the Travall Divider to provide a barrier at the tailgate of your vehicle. It’s the perfect way of deterring a dog from leaping from the trunk as soon as the lid opens – you know how excited for adventure they can be, and impulsive even if they are well trained. Offering the same exceptional level of engineering that you’ve come to expect from the Travall brand, the tailgates offer a great dog crate alternative for car travel, in the following ways:
The Travall TailGate allows you to transport two dogs with ease
If you have two dogs it can be very difficult to use a dog crate in your trunk. Many crates aren’t big enough for two dogs, and many trunks aren’t big enough for two crates. The Travall TailGate solves the issue simply, providing a comfortable area for each dog to sit.
The tailgate barrier enables you to have other items in the trunk
Let’s face it, even if you have a relatively small dog the crate needed to transport him is likely to be, well… bulky. With a Travall TailGate installed there’s no need to have a cumbersome crate in the trunk of your car. This means plenty of space is still available for other items that you need to carry with you. So whether you’re going on a picnic at the park, or a hike in the hills, your dog and your gear can be carried easily.
Coordinates perfectly with the rest of the Travall product range for rattle-free journeys
The Travall TailGate is designed to coordinate with the Travall Guard and Divider so it not only works well, but also looks great in your car too. Just like the Travall Guard and Divider, the Travall TailGate is designed to fit your vehicle to perfection. This means that unlike a clunky dog crate, there’s no annoying rattling on the journey, so your dog and your other passengers can enjoy a calm and peaceful ride. If you don’t need to use the tailgate on a journey, the double pivot hinge system allows you to fold it back neatly against the divider.
