Answer 2

Dogs drool for four reasons: nervousness, sexual arousal, illness, or overexcitement. Drooling in the car is almost inevitably a result of nervousness. Many dogs will drool immediately after being put in the car, even before the car is moving or turned on. Much of this is psychosomatic, rather than a result of actually feeling ill. Many dogs and puppies will drool as a result of being nervous - either from the strange movement and sounds of the car or as a slight fear of actually becoming ill. When they get carsick, they throw up - plain and simple. Drooling is often the first sign of this, though many dogs will throw up without actually ever drooling and others will drool for eons and never throw up.
Solutions are several, though which one will work for you is matter of trial and error.

1) Crating or placing the dog in a seat might cure the problem if the dog is becoming nervous or sick with visual cues. Eliminating those often helps.

2) Practice. Putting the dog in the car at times when you go nowhere, or just for short jaunts around the block will help ease the nervousness of the dog. Just like any activity that makes you nervous, the more you practice it, the better you feel about it (except for golf maybe).

3) Time. Many dogs outgrow this, especially if it occurs in puppyhood.

4) Administration of ginger or motion sickness pills before your trip. Many people swear by ginger. The motion sickness pills do work though.

5) I've had good luck by allowing really nervous dogs to ride in close physical contact with another dog or on a person's lap. Simply feeling secure and supported by another being is enough to relieve the anxiety.

Answer 3

Some dogs drool as a sign of nervousness. I have seen this happen in dog daycare where a newbie doesn't really know what to do with himself in the situation because he was undersocialized. It usually goes away on it's own when the dog becomes more relaxed. Try bringing your dog around strangers and strange dogs more often to boost his confidence.

Answer 4

Dogs can drool for many reason, it's not so much the drool you should pay attention to as much as you should pay attention to his body language. If he's panting uncontrolably, has a stiff body, or doesn't like to leave your side, it could mean that he's nervous or uncomfortable with the situation. If he drools as a result of playing with the dogs, this is fine, dogs don't have sweat glands, so if he's playing hard, he'll be panting hard and most likely drooling as well, as this cools him off. However, if he's displaying signs of nervousness, uneasiness or seems uncomfortable, the correction is simple. The moment you start to notice he's not in a relaxed state of mind is the moment you should correct the issue. If he's on a leash, give it a quick but firm tug followed by an assertive "sshhtt!" noise. This will redirect his attention to you and let him know that you're in control of the situation and he has nothing to get worked up about. Do this any time you see that he starts to get tense or uncomfortable. If he's not on a leash, say you're at the dog park or something, be sure that you yourself are in a calm and relaxed state of mind, for he will look to you for guidence on what state of mind he himself should be in. Allow him to walk around and socialize, trying not to pay too much attention to him physically, but keeping a mental bond with him, sensing his energy, the key is not to make any eye contact with him, just walk around so he knows that you are comfortable with the present situation, as this will be comforting to him. If he starts to display anything other than calm, submissive and relaxed behavior, immediately go to him, give him a firm touch on the side of the neck, (this is done using your index and middle fingers, simulating the teeth) and give him the same "sshhtt!" sound. Hopefully he'll either sit or lay down, if he does, immediately give him a firm massage of the neck and back, or just a scratch on the neck, (this shows him that he's displaying good and acceptable behavior) and continue to walk around. If he doesn't sit or lay down, touch him again on the side of the neck and tell him to. Make him wait there until he has relaxed himself and is looking to you for what to do next. Once he is in this state, again, give him a scratch and walk away. If he is an overanxious dog, or nervous, or fearful, or uneasy, any of these conditions should be corrected in the same manner. It could take a few attempts to calm him down, as he would not be used to having this behavior corrected. The most important thing in correcting a behavior is not to give him affection at improper times, and also to be sure that you're not mistakingly nuturing unacceptable behaviors. A common mistake is to try and sooth a dog that is in anything other than a calm state of mind, most people will pet the dog gently and tell it, "it's okay sweety, it's okay, don't worry." This does nothing but assure the dog that whatever anxious or nervous state of mind he's in is okay. It's not. It needs to be corrected, and the sooner the better. Letting this state of mind carry on for too long, even if it's only around certain things, if you allow it, that emotional state will be triggered every time he sees something specific to it - eventually, this could lead the dog to present other unwanted behaviors, be it by being vocal, overly withdrawn, or most commonly, aggressive. So, hopefully I was able to give you enough information to be able to tell how your dog is feeling around other dogs, and if it is something that's caused by an unstable state of mind, hopefully I've also given you enough information to correct these issues before they escalate into an emotional state that is more difficult to bring him down from. Good Luck!
