Just bring him everywhere you go, as much as possible. Pretty soon he'll realize that him riding in the car = him being with you, which is his #1 priority.

Chris,
My dog is a shelter rescue, and had the exact same issue when she was young. Even threw up in the truck the day I got her.
We got one of those dog beds, which stays in the same spot in the back seat. It's hers, she knows it. She's also got her water bowl on the floor of the back seat, so she can reach it. It took her a little bit to figure out that I was going to go places, and her options were go with in the truck or be home alone. She grew to LOVE the truck, her spot, going for rides, etc. I think having her bowl/bed/spot in the truck helped. Now if there's a t-storm or something, we actually can't get her OUT of the truck... it's her little spot of safety and she loves it.
So maybe bed, bowl of water, maybe a toy... something to make her feel like a certain part of the truck is hers? That and time bud.
Most important part. Be patient and keep bringing him everywhere with you.Quote:

Try borrowing someone's dog who is calm submissive and likes car rides. Maybe seeing how another dog acts will help.
Does this work with women?Quote:
