My yorkie is very afraid of car rides. Im not sure why he is afraid of them but every time he gets in the car he shakes like a leaf. Ive tried putting him in his kennel with the bed in it. He started freaking out after about 15 min of driving. Seems like the only way he's alright is if he is standing with his front paws on my right arm, looking out the window, and pressed up against me as close as he can. Problem with this is it is hard to stear the car while i have eight pounds on my one arm. Sometimes he even goes to the point of hiding underneath my seat! Are any of your yorkies scared of car rides? Have any advice for me at all? I know im running out of options.
