hi all
       i really need some help here max my lab hate,s going in the car but we have got to take him to see his orthopaedic surgeon soon he get,s in such a panic he,s never sick but he pant,s and whines:rolleyes: we have tried all sort,s when he was going to hydro it was three time,s a week to start with
my poor mate alway,s take him in her car he travels a bit better in her car than our car so has any one got some tried and tested tip or know of some thing i can give him
we are going to put him in his crate and cover the side,s

thank,s for all your help

Is going to the surgeon the only time he's in the car? If so he'll have unpleasant associations with it. Mine hated the car so here are some of the things I did.
Feed his dinner in the car without going anywhere.
We stored his special treats in the car. So I'd get excited, 'want a pig ear, ooh let's go get a sweety'. Take him out to the car, let him jump in, get the treat and get out again.
Jump in the car, have a treat, then go for a walk
When he can get in without being too stressed turn the engine on but don't go anywhere. Give him his dinner/treat then let him out.
When he's OK with that take lots of short trips to fun places

You get the idea. Make the car a good place where he gets nice treats and car rides mean fun walks. BTW - if your crate is not made specifically for cars then the rattling could really upset him.

hi thank,s lori
               he,s going to the surgeon to see if he need,s tplo done so we can,t do jumping and he has canine anorexia so it can take me up to two hour to get him to eat
