Tips on Taking the Fear Up Dog car.

If your dog fears related to experience nausea and vomiting when riding in a car, there is an easy way overcome, which could by taking medications to relieve nausea. For the choice of drug and dosage can consult with your veterinarian.

 

If your dog fears more than just a feeling of nausea, then you need to give more time and effort to remove the phobia. The steps below can help you to overcome your fear of dogs:

1. Begin by inducing the dog to get closer to the car rather than forcing it.

 

 Most dogs are afraid of driving when he saw the car ran away. Instead of dragging your dog in the car, it would be better if you persuade him slowly with food and praise. For phobias with mild levels, you may be able to train the dog to enter the car easily with just a brief workout. for more severe phobias, it will probably need a few days or a few weeks to bring the dog into the car.

2. Continue to use positive reinforcement to bring him in.
When dogs feel comfortable approaching the car, you can begin to persuade him to enter. Start by opening all doors car so the dog does not feel that he would be trapped after entering into it. Use a food and praise to persuade him to enter. It would be better if there were 2 people who liked the dog work as a team. One person holds the dog with the strap on one side of the car, while one other person sitting across the car seat from the other side and use food and a pleasant tone of voice to encourage the dog to enter the car.

3. Give a little time to create a special bond between you and your dog while in the car.

 

Do not rush to slam the door and immediately turn on the engine of your car so the dog got into the car. Instead, leave the car door open and spend a moment to be with your dog in the car. then slowly, sat down with the dog with the door closed. Again, depending on your dog's level of fear, this process can last for a few days to several weeks or more.

4. Turn on your car engine.

 

When the dog is already comfortable enough with you in the car, then you can begin to start the engine. As soon as the ignition is turned on, give it a little food and talk to him using a pleasant tone of voice, and then turn off the car engine. Repeat this several times until your dog really been comfortable sitting in the car with the engine on.

5. Start with a small trip.

 

Do not make your dog's first trip to a long journey. The first time, you may have to drive a short distance away from the block or not your home, give some food for the journey. Gradually, doing longer distances than before.
 

6. Bring your dog to a happy place.
The first trip of your dog should not be heading to the vet. Instead, take the dog to some fun places like a playground for dogs, the beach. Your dog will then associate the unpleasant experience into every car journey next.
