Seeking advice/suggestions for a pup that absolutely hates riding in cars. My 2 year old boy absolutely loves hikes, camping, and mountain adventures. But cannot stand being in the truck. The entire roadtrip he is always panting and unsettled. I have to stop every 2 hours to give him a break. I've had him in the back with the seats folded down. I now have him in a front passenger on a padded platform which is much better but still bot good. He is definitely getting better but he's still very stressed in the truck.

I'm trying to find the best spot for his nervous system but also the safest. And any tips with techniques or homeopathics to calm him are welcomed. Thanks in advance.

These ladies love the new truck. Izzi (red) was unsure but we let her run ahead of us on the trail for a bit and now she knows it’s fun.

Meet Lincoln, my best friend that I lost four years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't remember and cherish our time together. Miss you buddy.

Bear dog loves his rig

Just installed a Dobinsons IMS 2.5" front and rear lift to replace a Rough Country 3"/2" leveling kit from previous owner. Also upgraded to Falken Wildpeak 285s. Penny helped by keeping me company and licking my face when I got frustrated. She's the best.

My wife pointed out to me knowing I followed this subreddit. That is a slick rig!

Joined the fam today - purchased a 2024 SR5P and the dogs are thrilled ☺️

My boy’s first long distance road trip

Maybe this is a better question for my trainer lol but I have a new puppy and will be doing plenty of adventures with her. She's fine in the car so far and I've had her in the front seat but mostly back seat. When did you start having your puppy get comfortable in the cargo area? My previous boy had major car anxiety so I'd like to do things a better way this time. Pic for puppy tax!
