Thanks for all the replies. I'm really not sure if the dogs mind the
flights...they just seem a bit uncomfortable. It's hard to tell. One
thing I do know, they would never wear any kind of a headset.
Thanks again, Chuck
I never took a dog flying, but I did take my dog from South Fla to Mass
on a motorcycle. I made a platform that attached to the gas tank. She
would sit or stand most of the way and would lay down and sleep some of
the way. I made her a terry cloth lined rain suit and goggles.
The googles were made out of knauga hide (vinyl) that covered her entire
head and snapped under her chin. The vinyl had an oval cut out where
the eyes were. The oval opening was covered by a curved peice of
plexiglass. There was about 1" of foam between the vinyl and the
plexiglass that separated the plexiglass from the vinyl so that it
didn't touch her eyes.
The biggest problem was when we would stop. I had to get the rain coat
off before she would squat to pee.
Now, what were you saying about never getting your dog to wear a head set???
