We took Lucas with us to the beach last autumn, this is on our way back home. He loves riding in the car and is always very well-behaved! :-)

It's such a big help when they enjoy travelling in the car! Molly doesn't like it yet and has already been sick three times ... Something which never happened with Lucas ... Any tips on how to overcome this?

..... no tips :-(( ......... W. Shakespeare "to be or not to be ... " :-))

Hoping it will help, this is my tip and what I did. First, put Molly in the car for a couple of minutes with engine running but not going anywhere, then give her a couple of treats for being so good, increase the time and then make short trips preferably where she would really enjoy to be, i.e. beach, field, park, etc. Soon they associate car with going somewhere they really like and everything is forgotten .. :-) but most puppies are sick at the beginning, it goes away very quickly though, well ... quite quickly :-) good luck!

Thank you Chantal, that sounds like a very good way to go about it! I will let you know how this worked out for us. I guess it doesn't help Molly that we li
ve on the top of a hill with a very bumpy, rough, cobble-stoned or dirt road type of road leading down into the village which has huge speed bumps every few metres and lots of big holes in the road ... ;-D
