How do you train your dog for car rides?
I love taking my puppy for drives, but he doesn't really know how to behave in the car. How can I train my dog for car rides?

You sound like a great pet owner! Your pup may have anxiety about car rides, but there are
several ways
you can help.Try to limit your dog’s food and water intake in the hours before a car ride, so they don’t get sick because of the excess movement.
You can also make the car an exciting and comforting place for your dog by coaxing them in with a small treat and telling them how well they’re behaving in a cheerful tone as you get them in.
Once they’re okay with getting inside and sitting down, the motion and sounds of the car may take some getting used to. You can try taking shorter car rides to start—perhaps just around the block until your pup is used to the motion.
If you want to make sure you and your pup are covered for any eventuality, you may want to take a moment to review your car insurance policy. To do this easily, check out the
Jerry
app—we’ll get you personalized insurance quotes from top providers, so you can find a cheaper rate on car insurance while getting the coverage you need.Best of luck to you and your dog!
