That kind of behavior may be why he ended up as a rescue dog in the first place… Also, I’ve been becoming more and more aware of the dangers to everyone in the car of having loose dogs. My trainer was recently rear-ended and her back hatch popped open. If her dogs had not been crated, they would have been loose on the freeway, which is a heart-stopping idea.

Anyway, good luck to you! 🙂

We were hit very hard and the back third of our SUV was completely compressed. Fortunately, our lab was in the back seat and escaped the accident without injury. I literally can’t think about the outcome if we had put him in the way back like we sometimes did. He is a back seat dog from now on.

We have a Dodge Grand Caravan with side windows that go down. Currently we have a divider which gives them a lot of freedom in the back but Zac still howls like a police siren and I think he’s just over-excited. I’ve never had this problem with a dog before. We’ve tried everything: lavender oil, partial face mask, harnesses – they all last about 2 minutes in the car. Every day we drive to the park, which is a fun highlight of the day, and still Zac is crazy, and getting worse. And now he’s even bad on the way home! He cannot be crated. I think we just have to suffer and hope he matures – eventually.
