Is Your Dog Over Excited by Car Trips?

RESTLESSNESS

The type of restlessness I am talking about is the excitability when the dog gets in the car. This can be caused by stress during the traveling or by someone working the dog up to this state by exciting the dog up for the drive.

Dog Collars

Both problems can be deterred at an early age. When you start introducing your dog to travel, it is a good idea to sit the dog in the car first and calmly start the engine, reassuring the dog at all times.

This has to be done quietly and calmly to avoid the pup from getting too excited.

After a few minutes, get out of the car with your dog and praise the dog for doing well.

Leave it at that for a day or so, then next time, take the dog to the car. Then quietly place the dog in the car and do the same procedure again as the last. Food rewards will work really well with this problem.

Only this time take the dog for a short drive, reverse out and drive back in again. When you stop, allow yourself and the dog out quietly then praise if the dog was good. This is a classic way of desensitising your dog to be calm in the vehicle.

Go further and further every couple of days, if the dog gets excited quietly talk to the dog and reassure the animal.Then after a couple of weeks you can start taking your dog to destinations. HAVE FUN!

If you have an older dog with this problem already developed use the above technique, but the progress may be slower.

You may even sit in the car for long periods without even starting the engine.

Use food rewards to reward a quiet dog and ignore the bad behaviour. Read the slobbering section on this disk to read a bit more about vehicle desensitisation.
