Dog motion sickness
Wejust adopted two young adult female Havanese. One gets severe motion sickness. Only took three blocks on the first trip in the motorhome. Return trip today was a nightmare. Tried everything we could...

There are several medications that are excellent for motion sickness. Depending on severity the OTC calming agents mentioned and dramamine can work for many. Some of the more severe cases may need a stronger prescription medication, Cerenia, Zofran or metoclopramide.
If anxiety is the major issue, there are also prescription meds specifically for that, benzodiazepines (valium, ativan, alprazolam), clomipramine, prozac. As a last resort acepromazine (I've found most meds work better with less sedation).
The training or desensitization mentioned will help also.
