Maybe try taking him for a short ride in the car in a crate that is secured with a seat belt. Many times they feel more secure in a crate when riding in a car especially when they don't go for a ride all that often. He will need an occasional ride to the vet or someplace that you have to take him so making sure he is experienced is a good idea.
My little girl has never been crated inside the house but when I have to take her some where that involves highway travel I always put her in a secured crate. She is good about it because I take her about once a month and it has become a common place thing for her now. She also has a little seat she is hooked into for around town travel. |
