Hi again
Still trying our best to get Tilly to enjoy being in the car. Since all your replies I have tried most things. First we had the ginger biscuit - no change. Also been sitting her in the car and playing with toys then taking her for a walk - each day taking things a little further like starting the car but still did not move the car. Then progressed to 3 mins up the road to a great walking area with forest and a lake at the bottom - we all had a great time but on the way back home she was dripping everywhere - no sick but very nervous. We have had her in the boot, we also bought a car harness, we tried her in the front foot well next to me but she throw up all over my lap. Our latest attempt today was in a crate in the boot (I have been trying to de-sensitize her by again sitting in with her then starting the car but not moving) we prepared ourselves for all the sick and took her off about 10 miles to a fantastic beach, she was very sick and was shaking by the time we got there (oh I had spoken to the vet and they had recommended Scullcap and Valerian which she has also had the last few trips) but she had a really wonderful time on the beach running off the lead, playing with other dogs - you could see she was having a great time. Back to the car and we had the usual performance - not keen to get in, then her mouth dripped loads, she did seem to settle down for a while as she was tired, sick only once. We praised her when we got home but she did appear really scared and ran away into another room when my husband spoke to her, then she did the same to me. After 5 mins she had calmed down but this is scaring me - its really putting me off doing this to her.

Do you all really think we should just keep trying and she will calm down in time. I hate upsetting her like this even though she had such a wonderful time It upsets me too to see her shaking.
