I took him to DC last weekend just to start getting him used to flying on a short flight first. He was great on the way up because the stewardess and the man who was sitting next to me both like dogs and I was able to have him sleep on my lap almost all way (excluding take off and landing). The way back was a different story, even though the passenger seated next me did not mind at all, the cabin stewardess was being very strict and Mogwi barked and cried I eventually picked up his carrier with him in it and put it on my lap, I opened the front flap and put my whole arm in at which point he rested his head on my arm and fell asleep
he slept the rest of the two hour flight whew! Then he went potty in the dog relief area just outside baggage claim . Perfect, which is a good sign as he is in training to be my service dog.
