scalesntails 118 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi ive got a 6 month old pup and everytime i take her out in the car shes sick. Its not just a 1off thing its everytime i take her out!! Any advice people????? thanks It's anxiety most probably. Put the dog in the car and don't start it. Sit in the car with the dog for 15-20 mins (read the paper and have a cup of tea or something) then take the dog out. Once the dog is ok with this carry on but with the engine running. Then once the dogs ok short drives. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I had the same with my pup mate. Start off just sitting in the car, doors open, jumping in and out and generally getting used to it. Then sit him on passenger seat on someones lap and just drive across the street or down the drive or something short and the person reassures the dog, after a bit some short journeys with a reward at the end, i.e down the road to the park and out and play. Reinforce that travelling in the car is a good thing. Be patient, it will come in time. Quote Link to post
