Help a pet dog that doesn’t like riding in the automobile

Note: Dawn Ross of the Pet automobile safety blog shares her ideas on how to help a pet dog that doesn’t like riding in the car.

What is the normal image that pertains to mind when you think of a pet dog in the car?

It’s the pet dog with his head out the window and a big, puppy grin on his face, right?

But for whatever reasons (bad experience, unfamiliarity, fearful tendencies, for example) some dogs really do not like riding in the car.

If you have such a dog, here are some things that can help.

How to train your pet dog to like riding in the car

The primary thing you can do to help a pet dog that is terrified of automobile rides is to introduce him to the automobile slowly and positively.

People don’t get rid of their fears overnight, so don’t expect these training ideas to “cure” your pet dog of his concern quickly either. The following steps will take time (days, weeks or longer), and it is even possible that your pet dog will never come to like riding in the car.

But in the long run, pet dog training methods using desensitization, counter conditioning, and positive reinforcement can go a long way to help minimize your dog’s anxiety.

1. introduce your pet dog to the outside of the car.

Introduce your pet dog to the automobile from the outside, but don’t take him in the car. walk around it, let your pet dog sniff it, and reward him with treats or his favorite toy. If you use clicker training, click and reward. If you use your voice, praise in an upbeat tone. always keep your voice upbeat.

2. sit in the automobile without the automobile running.

Once your pet dog is safe with step 1, sit in the automobile with him but don’t turn the automobile on. get him to play if you can or just sit quietly and reward him with treats. Be careful about soothing (more on that below).

3. sit in the automobile with the automobile running.

Make sure your pet dog is comfortable with step 1 and 2, then sit in the automobile with the automobile running but don’t go anywhere (make sure your automobile is outside and not in the garage in buy to stop carbon monoxide poisoning). If it is just you training your dog, sit at the wheel and have your pet dog sit where you are going to expect him to sit when you drive. considering that you’re not driving, it is ok to distract your pet dog with treats or toys.

4. Take short drives.

Once it seems your pet dog has gotten used to being in your automobile when it’s running, take short drives around town. If possible, avoid too much turning as this can cause automobile sickness. go to the drive-through at your bank or favorite fast food place. check out a park or a pet store. Make sure your destination is not a place your pet dog hates, like the groomer or vet office. and make sure you never leave your pet dog alone in the automobile while you run errands.

5. Make your trips a bit longer.

At this point, you can start to make the road trips longer and longer. Remember, the a lot more frequently you do these steps, the better. For example, do step 1 three times a day each day for weeks, if needed, before moving onto the next step. once you get to step 4, try to do it once a day or a few times a week. The amount of time it takes for each step depends on your consistency and on your dog’s level of concern of automobile rides.

Dog training is a long-term option that can take even longer if you are not working at it regularly.
