I do not crate my dogs either, never have..not even for potty training. I do seat belt them in while in the car with the extra seat belt attachment shown in the pic I posted.
Oh...and I am gonna whisper this one: (I am a free feeder too)....GASP!!! I am sure some dog owners do not agree with that....but I am guilty. I can't stand for them to ever be hungry and they all have regulated themselves and do not gorge. Food is always out for them and I use about 3-3/1/2 cups a day that feeds 4 dogs. That's not so bad.
BN: 2 of my dogs are Shelties (like little collies)....love em' One is Blue Merle and one is Sable.
Shelties are very cool dogs and your free feeding is fine as long as it works for you and them . . . My girl was a rescue Border from TN - She came with the name 'Dixie' and it has morphed into 'Nip'. Best dog I ever have had - She doesn't need a leash ever and we walk 3 miles most each day in the woods.
