I think it is just all of the noise that is freaking her out. The vibrations from the car. The noises from the windows/radio.
My Yorkie was a bit afraid when he first was in cars. He would sit in the back seat, curled up in a ball. Now, he LOVES looking out windows and will try everything to get us to roll down a window. My Maltese can't see out windows, but she seems to like car rides.
My best suggestion, would be to have your Yorkie on your lap (I know this is somewhat dangerous) or some place nearby...and you constantly comforting them by petting them and saying they are doing a good job. Positive reinforcement will work over time. |
