Any recommendations for long car trips?? GiGi has gotten carsick before and we are going to be heading to my parent's house next weekend for a weekend visit and it is a 12 hour car trip. I am taking her with me and looking forward to getting pictures of her with my 11 year old setter at my parents'. Molly I don't think is going to be quite so appreciative of my bringing a puppy home!! Anyways, any advice anybody has to make the trip as smooth as possible would be wonderful! It will be me, GiGi and my two little girls, they are 3 and 2. I figure we will be making LOTS of stops and are going to start very early!! Thanks guys!
Amber is a bit better now. We still ride in a car with her on someone lap. She ignores all treats - still too much busy being afraid.
As a progress - I was cleaning car from a snow in the morning - she was next to me and not trying to run away or hide. I didn't turn car on. It helped.
When we going to a class last Sunday - my son got in a car and then put blanket over his lap and Amber just jumped in to his lap. Again - car was off. We are getting better. Thanks to everyone for help.
Finally I got metal crate for Amber to ride in a car. I have SUV, so only one crate can fit on the back. What if I’ll get another dog? I need another car then.
