Train your dog beforehand
If you don’t know if your dog is afraid of car rides, all you have to do is to plan short trips in advance to see how they react. You should train them beforehand because this way they will be able to accompany you during the summer vacation. You can plan short car rides, such as going to the vet, pet store or park, as this is the best way to get them used to travel.
“Before leaving on a long road trip with your dog, take some short practice trips that end in positive experiences for them,” Vachon says.

You should not allow your dog to put his head out of the car window when traveling. The dog can contract pink eye, like humans, or some bug or debris can fly into the dog’s eyes. I’m surprised you did not include this in your article. Vets will tell you to keep your dog’s head inside the car, not out the window when traveling on he road. Joanne Roberts, Beloit, WI.
