Gizmo is extremely anxious during car rides. He paces, twirls in circles, pants and barks uncontrollably. I have tried rewarding him when hes quiet but that seldomly ever happens. We have had him now for 11 months and we thought that he would get used to the car rides but that hasn't happened. I want to try either the thundershirt or a tip that was on Cesare Milians website ( He said to buy some lavender oil, put it on your hands and let the dog smell it during enjoyable activities such as walks or feeding time. That way the dog associates that smell with a fun activity and a calm environment) I am attaching the website for the thundershirt for you yorkielovers to look at.
What should i do?
