When I alway go on a car ride with my dog, he pants excessively and whines to no end. Even if it's freezing in the car he stills pants and whines like crazy!

A dog does not sweat the same way as a human. They do that by panting, even with the windows open it could be still to hot for the dog. If its a puppy they really can not contorl their temp. If its a cool day and they are still doing this may mean they are nervous

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/DRJYt

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

My Mom's dog does this, it's how they deal with stress or fear. Sounds like he doesn't like the car much at all. Car rides can make animals feel very insecure and unsafe. Putting him in a crate or straping him in the seatbelt with a towel or blanket wrapped around him might help. Also, make sure you talk to him and pet him to assure him that everything is okay, let him know that you are still there. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

If the dog feels comfortable in his crate, put the crate with the dog in the car... go for short rides at first, building up his confidence that you'll return home. My dog travels soooo much better when she's in her crate (in the car) otherwise she's licking her lips, panting and frantic.

Oh, and one more tip... your dog looks to you as a leader. Try giving the dog a command that he's used to hearing (and obeys).... like sit and stay. This gives him something to concentrate on besides his anxiety.

Answer 7

He may be having some anxiety, have you recently taken him to the vet? The car ride may be a reminder and they usually dont enjoy going to the DR.
does he run out ofthe car when you get to your destination even short trips, and pee right away? He could be having bladder issues?
How old is he? If he's younger than 5 he's probably just excited
If he's older than 5, I would discuss it with your Vet at a checkup visit soon just to be on the safe side

Dog training techniques are as controversial as abortion, Palestine and Bill O'Reilly. But, which dog training techniques can you trust to get you out of the dog house? It will help if you think about dog training techniques as being in one of two categories: balanced and imbalanced.

The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage.

For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices.

The Use Of Food:

Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of.

Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world.

Strictly Positive Reinforcement:

It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods.

If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced.

Consequence And Reward:

In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward.

Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.
