ouch

cover everything with rubber/plastic/tarp.

honestly this is such a non dog friendly car, lol... even a medium sized dog.

Sometimes you have to work with what you have not what you want.

cover it all up a suppose? not much more you can do short of building a cage back there.

Thinking of Reinforcing the back of seat putting hard plastic down cover with
rubber liner and pads and maybe dog guard?

sounds like a start :)

I'd be very concerned about all of the interior back there, the plastic isn't too hard to scratch.

I plan on getting a big area rug to put back there when I carry my two dogs around.

And I think the LB is pretty dog-friendly, especially if you get the fold-flat rear seat that comes with the power package.

I did not get the flat back seat so I have to figure something out

If you don't need to seat more than 2 people I would say just take out the back seat and put in a grille behind the front seats. There's a thread in the DIY section about this (and I think it is in the DIY manual too), where a member made a flat flooring there to carry photographic equipment, this could be a good starting point.

I may do this myself, the back seat has gotten 0 use, but lots of stuff has been on top of it! Its almost wasted space right now.

That would definitely be the 1st step to dog proofin the car

hmm i just reread the first post and he does want to keep the bench seat..

Ok so my advice: get a chihuahua... or a poodle...

I interpret as "I have a bench seat", not "i want to keep the bench seat" :)

I just re-re-read the first post and you may be right

The original phrasing is ambiguous on the matter...
