Never been a fan of crates...so that's one option not open to me. My dog loves my pickup. Also like wifes' car. But the motorhome? Forget it. Clearly uncomfortable, with shaking (an incredible vibration) and drooling somewhat, we only have two theory's:
1- the sound (frequency) of the engine (a V-10)
2- the first time she got in the motorhome, she said to herself : Ah! a new house! but then the house moved.
We won't go the "medication" route,, but we have no idea what to do to calm her anxiety down. She's only 3....hopefully as she ages she'll calm a bit. Don't know.
My Moosedog didn't like the motorhome at first. He was used to a TT that didn't move (as far as he could tell). I had moved all his toys into the clipper and he thought it was the same. Then we drove off. He was extremely nervous the entire drive (30 minutes each way). After a few trips, he started to calm down. He still gets nervous at times, but will usually sit on the couch and look out the windows. I think the excitement of going someplace fun has outweighed the stress of the drive. Just as long as I don't hit those "wake up bumps" on the side of the road - that noise freaks him out. It's also better with fresh air coming in.
