travel sickness

[Mick C. 229]

My lurcher pup has a really bad case of travel sickness.

 

What can i do to improve the situation?

 

I am hoping the condition will improve as the pup matures.

 

He is 5 month old.

 

THANKS

We had the same problem with ours. A post on Lurcher Link came up with some ideas

Get him used to being in the car without it moving first. Maybe give him a few treats so he associates the car with good things. After a while, start the motor but don't go anywhere several times and then try him on a few short journeys, ie just around the block and gradually build up.

Thats how I got the last spewer had "motor friendly". There are all sorts of things to give him also but I prefer the above method as it has always worked for me. Cheers, D.

I had the same problem with my terrier. I stopped feeding him before travelling in the car, then short drives to take him for a walk .He now associates the car with going for a walk. No problem.
