jimster68 123 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 you could try taking the pup everywere with you when your out and about ,shops ,visiting friends ect,this should get the pup used to traveling in your car ,it could be a nervous thing in the past i bought a dog that was terrified of traffic ect the more it travels ect the better it should get it could also be suffering motion sickness so short journeys should do it the world of good .

I agree. We got a rescue springer this summer that was a terrible traveller. I ended up just doing very short journeys with her and she's grand now. In fact she's took to it so well, hubby takes her in his wagon most days. Perservere Hath, and good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 My old EBT was the same when we got him at 4 months. We started by driving a couple of houses down the road then walk back home. Until we could drive a mile or 2. Just build it up slowly. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarraghsGem 92 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 agree with above... take her everywhere with you, make sure she has fun at the destination, play games, bring her for an auld ramble about the place, bring her to the park, to the beach, to relatives houses etc etc... she'll get over it sooner or later just persevere and be calm about it!
