:) Hi, we travel with a small dog and he does quite well. His first ever real car ride was for 50 days and over 10,000 miles. (Dusty was 13.5 years old then, now 16.5 years old) We took him to Alaska with us. He went with us in the car whenever possible, but sometimes had to stay in our trailer. We would only leave him alone for no more than four hours and only when cool out. We hired a pet sitter for him when we had an all day boat cruise. He will usually only bark for three minutes at most and sometimes not at all. When ever we leave him alone in our trailer and sometimes at home, I turn on a voice activated recorder, so I know how much he barked and why.
