 Traveling with puppy
We have to travel on a train with our puppy. It's going to total a four hour trip. I am assuming he will have to potty during this time. We have a little kennel, a stuffed toy (btw, do we have to worry about him chewing on it? i got one with no eyes or nose, it's just a stuffed pillow in the shape of a bone... i had read they like things to cuddle with), and a sherpa pad for the kennel. Now, I was thinking of taking a shoe box and lining it with wee pads, so that we can take him out of the kennel while on the train, and just put the box on my lap and have him pee in the box.
If anyone has a better suggestion I'd love to hear it!
But here is my concern. When we open the kennel door, will he come running out and take off on us in the train? I am having horrible visions of that but am not sure how reasonable that is. Should we put his harness on him before we put him in his kennel, so we can leash him when we open the door?
I don't know if I'm making sense, but I guess I'm just trying to figure out a safe way for him to potty.
Also, do people normally keep the puppy's water and food bowl in the kennel with him? |
