| Thanks for your update matese. All we do now is throw him in the play pen (so he at least has plenty of room) and listen to him scream. I am able to move the play pen right behind my seat (van and car with back seats down) and when I have had enough - I shake the play pen and tell him to shut up a few times - and he finally shuts up. That lasts about 15 minutes - so I shake his play pen again and tell him to shut up. It is that or put him in a kennel and we just can't do that. When we are running around all day - we just leave him at home with the front door open. He sits their and looks out side until we get home. I have home cameras so I check on him to see what he is up to. Whenever he see's we are getting ready to run out - he runs into the play pen and waits for us to carry it out to the car. We pull down the driveway and the barking begins - just don't get it! Dang his is a pain in the butt but we love him anyway!

| Have you spoken to your vet about his behavior. He could be suffering from anxiety, if that were the case there are meds for this. Now I am not one for dosing dogs with drugs, but Charlie could be suffering from anxiety and this is stressful on a dog. I read every single post of Charlies car behavior as you posted it going back to 2015 and you cannot put your finger on what triggers this behavior. It cannot be pleasant for you and your wife and certainly not lil Charlie.

| I know I’m late to this tread. Joey screams in the car and always has. When the women getting rid of him gave him to me she was like here he screamed the whole time and at first he didn’t do it but I was holding him and that’s just so unsafe. When he started ridding in the car seat he started doing it more and more. Sometimes it’s a good day and only a bit or sometimes it’s constant. Normally once we get on the highway he settles down. It’s really an ear piercing noise but he also does it at pet events and the vet too. He has always had separation anxiety so I don’t know if it is that or over excitement. He is vocal a lot at home too. We have tried CBD oil but it didn’t really do anything. I’m not sure I would do it but there are sedatives for long trips your vet can give you and you could try an anxiety medicine. Joey is 3 now and still the same. I’m actually thinking maybe before our big pet expo in January about maybe trying an anxiety medicine.

| Yuppa! They checked him out completely (i.e., blood, etc.) and he is perfect - they haven't a clue. They offered some drugs but the possible side affects scare us. The way he runs out to the car and wants to go with us - maybe his screaming is his way of saying he loves it!

| Bingo! Joey sounds like Charlie's brother! We tried the car seat and he would just about be standing up (leaning forward against the collar) screaming until he wore himself out. Charlie was born March 06, 2015 and he just isn't going to change. We were hoping for a magic cure - but, nuttn' so far. We just tried the Benadryl route last week. Know what Charlie did? He just ate like a wild man! He ate almost 3 times the normal amount of dog food! In about 20 minutes - Charlie ate all his dry dog food, beg'd for more - seems Benadryl made him hungry and not sleepy. We took him out to the car - he jumped in. We pulled down the driveway and he started screaming

| Long time no update! Hello gang. Well, Charlie still runs to the car, jumps in and starts screaming when we move. Charlie had his teeth cleaned and the vet told us that he was one of the toughest pooches to calm down - WELCOME TO MY WORLD! They tried the pill route to relax him a little before the needle - that didn't work at all. Heck, I could have told the vet that. They finally got him to sleep (think they had to just gas him). During his yearly exams - they always would have to pass up on the blood test because he would move around so much they were afraid of hurting him by mistake with the needle. Well, while he was sleeping - they finally got some blood. On traveling - we finally figured out a way. When we would run down to Florida - I would fold down the center seats in the van. The wife (and ole Charlie) would sit in the back seat for the trip. Charlie would go nuts, the wife would hold him and calm him down and he would finally sleep and roam around the back. The only problem would be he would figure out a way to get in the front seat and start yelling! The solution was to fill any voids with blankets. When we would stop for gas, etc. - we would have to start all over again with the screaming, etc. Gosh some things never change. Otherwise - ole Charlie is living the dream and keep us old farts busy! He plays us like a piano - always a new challenge (us against him). Yea, he wins most of the time. What would we do without this pain. Hope everyone is doing well.

| Welcome back. Things haven't changed I see. The most important thing is, you love him and have accepted him as he is, as nerve wracking as all his screaming is, you work with it, and bless you and the Mrs. for that. I do agree, these lil imps have us all very well trained lol. So nice to see you again

I am glad you sort of figured out how to deal with him in the car. I haven't been able to stop Beanie's Tasmanian Devil antics in the car as she now barks at EVERYTHING, including people who pull up next to us. They just look at her and laugh hysterically. I just shrug and say she is nuts, what can I do. LOL, LOL. I can stop her mouth in my apartment. I just point and glare and she stops, but it is an all day long battle. I now live in senior housing and I cannot have her barking non stop. But I have not been able to stop the car histrionics. My own vet said to me: Ms. Nicoll, little Beanie is quite an eccentric little dog but she is very cute. AHAHAHA, that is what I say, good thing you are cute!! Anyway, I am glad that you guys and Charlie are doing well. Beanie is now 9 years old and I am 64. YIIIIIKKKEEES. Where did the time go! | |
