| Does he do it even if the other pups are with him or just when he is alone?

| Hmmm... that's a tricky one. I would say a crate possibly, with a blanket on it... first get him used to it to make it a positive experience, of course. Don't put him in the car when he's in that excited state. Walk him first, even if it's for like 10 minutes? Then try to put him in the car. If he starts screaming, take him out, try it again. It sounds like he looks at the car as a reward. So don't give him his reward (the car ride) until he does the behavior you want him to (calm and quiet). I'm sure it wouldn't be an easy fix but maybe set aside a day when you have nothing else to do but to desensitize him to the car. Leash on, walk towards car, the minute screaming starts, walk away from the car. ANY little bit of quietness from him even if it's like 3 seconds gets a reward (his fav treat). It likely won't happen overnight but maybe if you can get the excitement less down *first* prior to getting in the car, it could help alleviate some of the screaming during the car ride?

| I do the same w/Piper (no bark, wait few seconds, then good girl to not bark), but praising Pipe without a follow-up treat doesn't get that quick oh-right-I-gotcha response. She is such a chow hound--worse than me even!!! |

| We used to travel with our Zuzi since she was already 4 months old. I can say that she is already used to the drives, doesn't scream but still, I can see that she is not completely calm. Even after so many trips and hours in the car she will never rest and fall asleep. Lately, I observed that when I keep her in her transport bag, she is completely different. She will lay down and sleep. Just giving an idea that you might want to try. |
