I think you are doing the most important thing: keeping Khloe's schedule consistent. The two major problems I've had are accidents in others' houses, and picky eating. If I mix a bit of wet food into his regular kibble, he will eat no matter where we are. For the potty - I take him out much more frequently than I would at our regular home, I watch him like a hawk, and I use belly bands occasionally. I don't know about nighttime whining, as Levi sleeps with me and is content as long as I am with him. I think that keeping the atmosphere around Khloe's crate as close to her home environment as possible is a great idea.

It will probably just take Khloe time to get used to traveling frequently. Levi doesn't have a skittish personality at all - he is very curious and outgoing - but he occasionally does feel out of his element, so I try to pay him special attention if we are in a new place. He LOVES going to places he is now familiar with...so I'm sure once Khloe gets used to traveling, she will enjoy it! I know Levi whines like crazy once we turn onto my aunt's driveway, he can't wait to get out of the car to visit and play!

Thank you for replying; I'm hoping time will be the cure. We are in the mountains visiting my Mom now, and last night I put her crate facing me at the foot of my bed, so that stopped the whining for one night.

She usually is very outgoing, but occasionally I think she gets sensory overload because we go from the flatlands (our home) to the mountains, and from the mountains to the city of Atlanta. So I guess it is much for a little pup to take in. I'm hoping that when we get her playmate in November, it will be easier on them (even though I know it will be a little more work and packing on my behalf). I hope you are having a great weekend. We are expecting isolated showers up here in the mountains, and have a family reunion to go to as well before going back home for another week. Take care, and enjoy what is left of the weekend!
