Help! Puppy that screams in the car..

Behavioral Issues
  • @zande I've never thought about that... it's generally considered a "cargo" area. hmmm, Any hatchback drivers amoung us?

  • @elbrant
    “The trunk (North American English) or boot (British English) of a car is the vehicle's main storage or cargo compartment, often a hatch at the rear of the vehicle. In Indian English the storage area is known as a dickey (also spelled dicky or diggy), in South-East Asia a compartment. A tailgate, or sometimes the hatch, is a hinged board or door at the rear of a vehicle that can be moved up or down during loading and unloading. Also called a tailboard, it is commonly found in pickup trucks or hatchback vehicles.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunk_(car) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunk
    I was also curious to know what we call the “cargo” area in an SUV, hatchback, or station wagon.

  • I have very rarely had a screamer in the car? I have an SUV with crates in the back. As babies they might get a bit upset or "car sick" but that doesn't last long, couple of car rides cures that... and I am on the road with mine all the time... they fuss when we first leave the house for amount the 1st 1/2 mile then off to sleep.... If getting car sick, you might want to try something for motion sickness? When I had a RV they were also fine, up to five or six at a time traveling.

  • Thank you all for your replies. Today was a liiiiiiittle bit better than the previous car rides we have done with him. Not constant screaming. But he still screams, and it’s a scream that can make ears bleed... But anyway, a little better today. He lied down and stayed quiet for about 5-10 minutes of the 20 minute ride. On the way home.

    Hopefully if we keep up with daily car rides where he always gets his toys and treats with him, and as long as we go someplace fun every time this will help getting him calmer in the car.

    I will also try the Rescue Remedy, it can’t hurt I guess :)

    I agree with Debra…dogs who feel it is okay to growl and snap at their owners to get their way should not be sleeping in the bed. Paulajean, you can work this out...just get some good advice from a good trainer...she is not a bad dog, you just need a way to communicate to her that you are the leader :) Check out Patricia McConnell's book "How to Be the Leader of the Pack (and have your dog love you for it)" you can google it and find it at several different vendors.

    @tanza: So you think…ggg.... I will be waiting to here what happens when you put panties on your girl.... go out and come home.... Tea Tree Oil or not...:rolleyes: LOL, took the words right out of my mouth…we want pictures of how the panties look after you leave her with them on and you're not around to watch her. :D :D :D With Ruby, anyone I talked to about the panties said, skip it because they'll get shredded and clean up after her...so that was what I did. Wasn't really a big deal. I have wood floors, area rugs that are easily washed, and blankets I put on the furniture. :D And with Ruby, I know exactly how it would have gone w/panties (not good) just based on how she was about me checking that area to see if she was bleeding.

    "garlic deters fleas" Also works on my wife. Either everyone has to eat it or no one. Dogs don't seem too fond of garlic breath either, this should be for the foot & kissing thread?
