Great post and good advice!!
My dogs all love car rides. You say to them "want to go for a car ride" and they get all excited and jump in the car right away. They are taught from the day I get them to ride in cars. They ride in the car with me all the time. They are so great with car rides. They will just lay down and go to sleep the entire time.
However, Scampers is not one that can do car rides. I don't think he ever will be. He starts shaking, panting, becoming restless, almost hyperventelating (sp?). I have tried since he was 12 weeks old and it is no use. You can try anything you want, it is just not possible with him. I have no idea why he reacts this way. I have always made it a positive and fun experience. He is the only one out of all my dogs that hates car rides. |
