Our 8yr old rescue Bichon has never been in the car before we got her. Her first car ride was coming home with us. She got herself all het up yelping, whining, panting herself silly. Despite trying to desensitise her lots if going in the car whilst its parked just for a sit then going round block etc she is still as bad as ever.
She isnt crate trained and I dont want to go down that route her history if abuse means she hates small spaces I cant even shut the living room door whilst we are all in there she needs to know she can get out iyswim.
Anyway we are going camping in Aug the journey is about 1hr. How do I make it bearable for her (and us)?
