Traveling
in the Car With Your
Most German
Shepherd Dogs
can travel well in the car without any problems, but some other dogs
can become
distressed quiet easily - it's best to get your German
Shepherd puppy
or Shepherd
Dog
used to traveling with you as early as possible.
In the car, it's wise to keep your German Shepherd Dog confined to the rear by using a well-made dog guard or dog grille, with a rug for your dog to lie or sit on.This will help keep him not only secure - but will also protect you in the event of a collision that could well throw your dog towards the front of your vehicle, and towards you with possible disastrous consequences!
This will restrict his movements, but if he has one of his toys with him, he has something to occupy him - but this should not be necessary as his attention will be on everything he sees around him.
If you find that your German Shepherd puppy is a little nervous at first, then put him into the car with a toy or bone, then just go for a short drive first, and go somewhere where he can get out and play for a few minutes before going back home.
He will then associate the car with something nice at the end of the ride!
Then if necessary, the next time- increase the journey time and you will, I'm sure, find the initial problem will have gone away.
Our German Shepherd Dogs have never had a problem with the car, they get all excited because they know they're going somewhere!
Note: Make sure your German Shepherd Dog has relieved himself before proceeding on a long journey, and make sure you stop at reasonable intervals - at least every 2/3 hours in order for your dog to relieve himself and stretch his legs - also give him a drink along the way.(Make sure you take a water container with you)

As
shown in the picture, our two German Shepherd Dogs are in the back of
our Land Rover which has a
factory fitted dog guard - this means that they cannot jump into or
over any other area of the car and can travel in comfort and safety.

So
don't forget -it's best to get your German Shepherd puppy or Shepherd
Dog used to traveling in the car with you as early as possible, and
