screen door cover? (dog proof)

You may need to consider working at home with crate training methods if you think the dog is panicking in the crate before traveling.

He's a "chug", Chihuahua + Pug.  We use a large travel carrier, with the plastic on 3 sides and metal mesh door.  There are teeth and claw marks around every hole, he doesn't like it!

We use a plastic kennel in the TV and a folding steel framed canvas crate in the pod.  It sits on the bed in the 171 with plenty of room for a human next to it. I have seen dome shaped soft sided kennels that look neat to fit the curved back wall, but don't want to spend the extra money for one now. It works fine for our 20# fox terrier who is accustomed to sleeping in her crate at home. Don't know about a larger dog. Guess a bigger folding crate could be set up on the dinette bed. 

We tried leaving our dog in a bathroom at home a few times and he chewed the h&ll out of the toilet seat and molding around the door (tried letting him go free and he emptied the trash cans all over the house).  Now he's in a cage at home and on the road if we aren't around.  When in his cage, if he can get to something he can chew through the cage door he'll go for it.  In the 'pod that means getting all the clothes and towels off the floor.   Our kids let one of their blankets dangle over the edge of the bed and when we came back to the 'pod he managed to get half of it through the holes of the door and shredded it to confetti.

Plexiglass was the word I was looking for.  Well I'm sorry to say that my attempt was a failure.  The plexiglass can be cut to fit inside the grooves, but in this case I cut a little large so it would bow out (inward).  Hercules was not happy we left him in the r-pod, not only did he take the Plexiglass out of the door,  also torn up the screen.  I can replace the screen (no big deal) and take another cut on the Plexiglass so it has a better fit.
