Trainer Jen suggested that we do some work with Dewey so that he begins to think about the car as a happy and fun place. So today we had a little party in the driveway. I sat in the passenger's seat, and he sat just outside while I gave him some stinky salmon treats.
No pressure. He was glad to just sit there (Dewey is a very content little guy). Just him and me and some kibble that smelled like a fish's butt. And we sang some songs.
I like fishes' butts
And I cannot lie
When those butts get in my eye.
(etc.)

And then we went back inside. I won't be surprised if the neighbors report me as being unbalanced. I've got to think of more songs...
lol its ok when I first got pinnacle he would get car sick so I spent about 2 months working on that. our one neighbor saw me just sitting in the car and came over to make sure i was ok i had to laugh and explain i was working on getting him over car sickness. so you are not alone in looking funny to neighbors.
