No connie he got Leah when we was together. We go on walks together and he wanted a dog to walk too. Then i decided to get little bailey 6 months ago so i could walk him when carl was walkin leah ..... which we still do alot! Leah has never liked the car but its now at the stage where i cant put her in there. My patner dosnt drive just me and her yelping and crying makes me to the point where i cant concentrate. Maybe he needs to kick up the bum to pass his test and he could teach her to be in the car LOL i really am not giving up on her i just thought it might be a better idea to go to a home where people are around to give her the attention she needs.

She is not loose in my car she is in the back with the dog guard up. i have a nissan micra a crate will not fit in there. she is not loose we have a dog seat belt on her but i cant stop her from moving and trying to jump about. We even taook her on 10min rides to get her used to it but after like 3 months we gave up as she was no better eeek!

My daughter has a Cocker who is now 10 y/o. I love the dog and the dog loves me.... but am so glad I don't live with him.
He barks many many times per day! Not like yapping...but a big loud piercing "woof". This he does to get your attention.
It seems to have gotten worse since she has had a baby. He's fine with the baby...but the extra excitement around the house just makes him want to join in more often with a bark. And I suppose the fact that he knows there's more chance of morsels about to fall on the floor near the baby's highchair....or a chance to get a cracker from her...add to the chaos
The baby thinks it's fun to just hand over her cracker or whatever.
His other trait is he is interested in one thing and one thing only. FOOD. It is no fun to eat when he's around...because he startes constantly in hopes of getting a tidbit...and if he's impatient the tension rises and he'll bark for one.
Funny thing is that he doesn't usually get a tidbit....it's not like he was spoiled.
I really don't think I could handle a dog that barks allot for no reason.
I do dog sit her dog when she leaves town for a few days. But I am always glad to see him leave.

Hello. Don't know if this would help but has worked for me in the past. You need to take the lab for short trips like down the road to closest store and get her a treat(maybe McDonalds hamburger without the bun and gunk) Do this everyday with trips getting longer gradually and soon she should be looking forward to going. Worked for mine. Praise her greatly in vehicle. Don't take the Yorkie with you as attention is focused on him. All attention need s to be focused on her at this point in vehicle. It is easy to do and requires no trainers. Good luck, Sue

Worst case, if you do find a new home for her, find someone who has a big house with a back yard. Obviously the dog has a lot of energy to burn off.

Good luck!

That's exactly what I was thinking
