This method worked for my dog. I adopted a 16 week old rescue, that was seperated from her mother and litter mates to soon in life. She has alot of stress behaviors, to alot! I followed the method exactly and we have succesfully tamed the car. I was amazed at her almost immedate turn around. Prior to this counterconditioning training, she resisted getting near the car and when picked and place in the car she was frozen in fear salivating, the degree of salivation was like I never imagined possible. In my persute to help her I found this video. She jumps in on her own and enjoys the ride. It took patients and time I devoted 3 days to the process and allowed her to make the decission. In short I followed the instructuions from this video. We are amazed, God Bless you for posting this video.
i adopted a pitbull who had anxiety in car. what i did was i feed him twice a day 8am 5pm. so for the second feeding i started taking him out to the garage an letting him eat his bowl of food in my car an as he got more comfortable i would take him for a ride around the block an would feed him after i got back.
Great video, I tackled this a few months ago in a very similar way, and we had to start at the house door. It took about 2 months, but now she jumps into her seat, I feel like she still doesn't settle into the car ride, standing when road noise changes or we go over bumps, but this is getting better with treats. What I can't seem to alleviate is the end of the journey, she goes crazy, vocalises, jumps around (not her normal behaviour) I don't know if its just excitement to be getting out of the car, but I'd love tips on how to keep her calmer then.
Take your dog somewhere he/she loves to go at the same time for 2 weeks. And then keep going. Be gentle on turns and breaking. I had a lot of trouble with my pup, because I was inconsistent, going to different places at different times. I now have to train him that he's not invited into the car when I open the door, there are times I need to leave him behind! 😂
This is so so helpful. I've been looking for a video that has examples and solutions for this problem. We cant figure out why our pup wont get in the car. Open the door he stares at the seats. We throw his high value treats in side and he still wont get in. He will put his front paws on seat then look up at us to lift him in the car. We dont know why he doesnt like getting in. He will lay down on the seat and look sad when its moving fast. Slowing down he loves getting up and looking out the window. Mixed messages.
Yeah me too I have tried everything. We also desensitized him to car when he was a puppy. Dog gets anxious thinking im gonna leave him in car so always when car stops or slows at destination is when it starts. Tried kongs, scatter feeding, tried desensitizing to me coming in and out for a whole cross country. Tried corrections. Tried harness seat belt. Just a sit helps but the barking whining racket continues. Nothing works long term. Haven't found any source to directly help address this. At home they deal with me leaving just fine. Tackled it from several angles and put in the work. I kinda just started accepting his behavior more as its just how he is but we still work on it. Ill prob do another deep dive he is great overall just loses it in car.
My dog was a shelter dog and she definitely has had anxiety for awhile now. She does really well when I am around but when it comes to the car, not so much. She goes directly to the floor on the passengers side and digs her head... she stays like that no matter how long the ride is. It's not a problem for me but I really want to help her overcome it so she can enjoy rides like a dog should... head out the window with a big smile.
Help!! I've tried all of the above with high value treats and Max will not budge. He won't even go near the car and if I open the door forget about it. He weighs 135 so the plane is not an option for long distance drives and ultimately I want to be able to travel more since I work remote. Please help!!!!
I think we need to start working from outside the car; however, I will still need to transport her to training/sniffspots/etc. in the car. Do you have any advice for that situation?
My puppy gets anxious if we even walk in the general direction of the car. Do you recommend rewarding her at various "checkpoints" on the way towards the car?
I have a friend that has a 2 year old GSD, and she is REALLY reactive and anxious while in the car. Unfortunately my friend doesn't see that it's that, but thinks it's just her dog being vocal....Ive tried to tell her it's not. But she's not my dog so I gave up. I also have a female GSD but she's so nice and calm in my car.
Our 7 month old puppy is terrified of the car. We have taken her to dog parks and exciting places that she loves. But she still hates it. We've tried treats and small drives. It could be that she doesn't like it as she gets a bit car sick.
Sounds like she is, she has anxiety about the car so use these methods and don't move on to the next method until there is no more panting, drooling feel her chin
Dogs can also have motion sickness. I had a foster who had motion sickness I found out from our vet . We had to give her calming meds to get her to appts just to go in the car, so she wouldn’t throw up . She would get too dizzy he said 💔
My dog is so anxious he slobbers profusely and he won’t even look at a treat or take a treat. He will get in the car, but does not want to stay there even for a few seconds.
What happens if you have to go somewhere with the dog? I know i need to go back to square one with the car training but we have dog training class across town two days a week and it is hard to even start knowing that in a day or two i will be back to square one when i have to force the issue and skip to the actual driving.
My guy only gets anxiety once we go on the highway. Any ideas? He had a bad experience flying on a plane and I think the rumble/louder road sounds trigger him.
My dog is exactly the same! She's fine at slow speeds around town but as soon as we accelerate onto the highway She's stresses the whole time and this has only been since she went on the plane and I feel like I've traumatised her! 😢
Question, what if they won't take/eat treats while in the car, due to the anxiety? Do we go back to the second stage, where we have them retrieve the treat in the backseat themselves?
I'm only replying as you haven't received an answer yet but I think under any situation, if your dog is refusing treats it's an indication that they are over threshold and that you should at a minimum go back to the step where they were last taking treats. I say as a min as sometimes the dog is still stressed but able to take treats, which is not necessarily a learning environment. With some dogs it is better to return to a stage where the dog is happy and stress free (as demonstrated by their body language) and reinforce at that stage. Then maybe consider if there is a way that you can split the next step to make it easier for your dog to feel comfortable going forward?
Thanks for another great video, I love that you always give clear visual clips of the training and behaviours as they happen. Your videos are always so informative and helpful, thank you x
if our dog calmly gets in the car and stays in a 'down' when the car is on and way BUT gets up here and there (mostly once closer to town or a dog walking passed' where would I start to help with her thresholds?
My dog, Samson, would jump over the front seats. He is 7 years old Border-collie/Aussie mix. Short drive not so much but a long drive, terrible. I tried harnessing him, but he would break free. Because of this difficulty, I will not be taking him to any road trip. I am sending him to doggy day care which I never done. Any suggestions?
My dog yawns a lot in the car. I've been told that's a sign of stress. But she also makes like a chirping sound and sheds A LOT during car rides. Oh and the gas. It's enough to kill buzzards.
My dog loves the car, unfortunately we live full-time in a 40ft bus. The second we start prepping the bus to travel she starts to show signs of anxiety. But seems to like living in the bus.
My dog loves getting in the car loves it but ones car start moving the whining starts won’t seat and is really annoying starts walking back and forward the crying is really annoying 😔
Is there somewhere I can send you a 30-second video of my rescue dog in the car? She literally bounces all around the front seat, even when I put her leash on that limits how far she can move. Constant whining. Never seen a dog act this way in a car. I've tried Benedryl, Melatonin and CBD dog treats and NONE had any effect on her.
My beagle spaniel mix loves to go in the car with us....but...he loses his mind if we go into the store for 5 min, even if he can see us. By the time we get back to the car, he is panicking, panting and scratching at the windows. It makes going on long trips with him tough if you have to stop to go to the little girls room!!! Do you have any videos that talk about this type of separation anxiety? He is a covid baby I am afraid and is not really used to being alone much now that I work remotely still. However, he seems ok if I leave the house. He does look out the window but isn't panicking the same. Also, we recently took him camping and to my surprise, he was ok sitting quietly by himself tied at the site when I walked down the road a bit to go to the bathroom or the water tap. So, it is just the car. What gives and how can we help him?!
I don't think my dog has car anxiety but he won't stay in the back seat. I would bring him with me if he wouldn't jump from seat to seat. I miss my dog running around with me but he gets fur all over the back seat and front passenger seat.
I have a young Labrador who used to enjoy car rides, but eventually started showing signs of anxiety such as heavy breathing and excessive drooling. There was even a time when he vomited in the car and seemed quite embarrassed by it. To address this issue, I began feeding him well in advance of our journeys, which appeared to make a difference. With time, he has grown more relaxed during car rides and often falls asleep within approximately five minutes. I've also found that adjusting the car's temperature using the AC or slightly opening a window has had a positive effect. In the past, I had a Springer Spaniel who always loved going for car rides, regardless of when he had eaten. He would stay awake throughout the trip, enjoying the scenery. To ensure a smoother experience, I recommend avoiding feeding your dog less than two hours before the trip. Additionally, it's important to be mindful of the temperature conditions.
My dog scream barks nonstop but will get in the car just fine. Refuses to eat treats chew toys or bones in the car. I tried just staying in the car with her for 30 minutes and she still just screamed nonstop
I have a puppy dalmation, he won't even go out the front door. He pukes and drools everywhere when even seeing the car. It's ridiculous as I got him to be my service animal. I need this to be fixed and am talking to a local trainer now.
My dog was so good for a long time he would run to go to get in the car and jump in now I have to force him in the car and he goes panicky real bad when he’s in the car I don’t understand why there is no reason for it we give him treats to help calm him downbut nothing seems to work we try to thunder jacket. We had another dog after she had an operation she started the same thing we put earmuffs on her and that calmed her down but this guy here he won’t let you even put anything on his head and leave it on he is just total arrogant with us.

My new gsd pup has massive fear just being in car. She was found in box next to hwy. She drools beyond excessive and vomits.
Did your dog ever grow out of this? My 10 month old gsd still does this exact same thing

Lets see you work with some shelter dogs without a balanced approach with primary emphasis on positive reinforcement. .
I find this video controversial, i'm not a dog trainer like yourself but with all due respect - the idea of letting your dog stand (or sit) at the front of your car seems moronic... in the event that god forbid you have a collision...that dog will more than likely meet a rather horrid end....😢
I find this especially vexing that this is a training video, ie encouraging people this practice.
Safety first, in an ideal world no one crashes but that's just not how it is. Crating your dog, or even utalising the boot(trunk) or at the very least put on a doggy seatbelt will give it a chance to get away with minor damage....
By allowing them to free roam in the car only invites potential catastrophy.
It could be a cultural thing perhaps, i for one don't know a single friend here in the UK who allows their dogs to just peruse the entire car whilst traveling.
It's annoying when videos basically just say give treats...
