Exclamation Dog ATV Riders?

I've never carried a dog on an atv before, and was wondering what you guys have found to work. I took him for a quick ride around the house, and he seemed to like it, but dont have a place to put him. It's a corgi, about 30lbs. A soft general use "box" looks like it would be good for him, but dont know how hard it would be to clean when it gets muddy. A hard plastic box would be easier to clean, but would need some padding. Any ideas?

Mike

Maybe a hard plastic box but with a small padded dog bed placed in it?

Here is our 6 lbs toy fox terrier, bicycle basket attached to the back rack with a sheep skin pad/ We can not start the quads without her being right there to ride.

Thanks for the ideas. Maybe use the hard plastic box with velcro holding the pads in place, but easy to remove for washing?

I have a 90lb black lap it either rides between me and the handle bars sitting straight up, on the rough trails or on the back rack on smoother going trails and roads. Its been doing it since a pup and is 10 years old now.

My german shorthaired pointer loves to ride on the back (seat and rack). She just sits on the back and I try to go easy. Dog loves it.

I would get one of the lock and ride bags and put some seat cushions in it. That should work for Fido.
