I have three big labradors (Golden, Black, and Chocolate), and have never needed a dog guard as they stay where I tell them to stay, and on long journeys they all snore in the back.

Our dog is something of a real goody two-shoes of a dog most of the time. He has only one problem that we can’t crack. When he’s in the back of the Disco he will go absolutely berserk at the sight of a cat, a dog walker, pedestrians, cyclists, bus drivers etc etc.
Apart from the unpleasant noise and disruption inside the vehicle for us he is likely to damage himself or the car’s inertia.
So a cage may help to subdue his behaviour or at least restrict his movements inside the vehicle.
Also a cage would free up some of the load space of the disco.

We always put our Westie Scruffy in his cage when we have him in the car as it's the safest way for them to travel plus if I have to stop quickly I don't fancy 22 Lbs of white furry lump in the back of my head :D :D :D

I have a dog guard that I bought from paddocks or some similar well known company. It has 2 easy to undo knobs that unscrew to remove when putting large itmes in or fold the seats forward and stuff goes under it. It also means you can load the boot space up to the hills and it wont all fall over the back seat.
With regards the dog going mad. Our collie used to do that and we got a water pistol and every time she barked we squirted her immediatly. Better if 2 people in the car obviously!!! The dog soon learnt if she barked she got a squirting! cheaper than a cage!!! If you cant find a small water pistol try a plastic lemon that lemon juice comes in but obviously fill with water!
