A dog lover myself and totally get bringing your best friend for a ride but not a fan of your set up especially the chain

Personally I wouldn't do it

Great pic! Wish mine was small enough to fit on the back.

This is how I take mine with me and they love it, Trailer is made for the dog. If I am working in the yard and open the back the Chesapeake will jump in and just lay in it.

The existing blue tote puts a fair amount of weight further back than is good for stability. The open top leaves security of the dog as a variable. Temptation does happen, and dogs do jump or fall out.

Knew a guy years ago who built a dog carrier for his out of clear acrylic, mounted on the rack and rear seat. Multiple ventilation holes and a secure lockable door. Looked a bit like the now defunct Road Hound carrier.

What about the wind noise and what it would do to a dog`s hearing? I have never been able to find something I would trust for my Jack Russell, who is very active. I just won`t do it. He absolutely loves my jet ski, though.

I'm a dog lover too, but they stay at home where they are the most comfortable. They have 10 acres to roam and could give a crap less about riding on a motorcycle. Or even being near one for that matter. I think maybe you think they like it but in reality, I doubt it.
