We have a rescue lurcher who is perfect in pretty much every way. However she hates travelling in the car and won't relax and pants constantly. We get round this by not taking her in the car wherever possible and leaving her with a close friend (who I suspect she would happily move in with) if we go away. We are going away for five days and friend is also away so can't have her so we therefore have to travel five hours with ddog. Can anyone help us desensitise her and cope with the journey?
She was in kennels whilst being rehomed and was really unhappy- we tried kennels once since and regretted it. She's not great with other dogs in close proximity so dog sitters are out of the question too.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
