shorter trips should help. The problem is they get scared we panic we try to comforty them but by doing this we just reinforce the behavior. I am a firm believer of Cesar Milan and he states we need to snap them out of it, what I try to do is always have on hand a small can wth coins in it when Milo starts to shake or bark I shake the can and that diverts his attention and when he is calm then I tell him good boy and give him a treat. Teadious yes it is but the more you do it the quicker they learn. Also someone told me lavender is soothing so I went to the health food store and got lavander escentual oils in a spray and I spray his blanket for the car and that seems to help a little. |
