So I am thinking ahead about bringing Kygo to my parents house. Titus is there but he is an outside pup. They have a sunporch which i would keep kygo on because they wouldn't want him inside. I have a rigid kennel and a small car. Wondering how he would be on the sunporch unkenneled? Should i invest in a small kennel? Doesn't seem like that would be ample... Ideas?

Only you know your dog and if they are a good candidate for not kenneling.

For travel, if necessary, I bought a collapsible soft sided crate. My boy is good enough to trust in a soft sided crate these days. An alternative is a wire crate that collapses flat for portability. My in-laws travel with a wire crate folded flat in their car with no trouble. Granted I have no idea how small you mean by "small car". Obviously a Kia Rio, for example, is much smaller than a Toyota Camry and size is relative.

Couldn't agree with that statement more.

Mine travel loose but they're also excellent travelers. Sasha just crashes until I stop and Avalanche is looking over my shoulder to see where we're going. But both stay in the back of the Jeep with no qualms (unless I get out, in which case one of them will be "driving" till I get back )

Personally, if it's just for a day trip it doesn't sound like it'd be pleasant for either of you. He's going to want to be inside with you; the parent's sun room may suffer if he's made to stay on it ... regrettably, I'd be inclined to leave him home.

We fit a 42" wire crate, folded up, standing on its side and bungied to the back of the front head rests in a Subaru WRX.

I find that Archer tolerates tethering much, much better when he's tethered near enough to Ami to see, hear him and even do an occasional "Tug" on a toy but not so clse their lines get crossed. Took a bit of finagling to work that out though - really important to not let the lines touch - you could strangle or maim one of them if the lines are too close.
