Nervous dog travelling in a Motorhome

You could try Bachs Rescue Remedy. We used it for a nervous dog in the show ring and she finally got over it.

There is also the possibility of a 'thundershirt' or 'anxiety wrap' which help a nervous dog to feel more secure. Can't think of anything else offhand that others haven't already suggested.

Funnily enough we had the opposite problem. one of our dogs hates the car...drools for England, but settles with little problem in our PVC.

don't you just love 'em!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately we've tried the rescue remedy..to no avail...

I've just bought some herbal calm-eze tablets which get fairly good reviews so we shall see!

We are in the process of purchasing a Motorhome after having Caravans . We have two dogs the older one 7 is nervous in the Car he shakes and pants i have tried tablets to try and calm him to no avail he has been in the car from being a  pup. We have another dog 1 and he is ok travelling but when they are together the youngest gets a  bit overwhelmed so i separate them in the car. So i think this is what i will have to do when we get the Motorhome. 

I can report to everyone that the calm-eze tablets were ....useless

I'm now wondering about putting his basket on the fixed bed wedged with pillows to make him feel more secure.

It's trial and error, KD. We never solved it but I hope you have better luck.

I too will post once we have the Motorhome and once we have taken it out .. I too do not think the Tablets work other than giving the Dog Valium which you can get from the Vets there is not a  lot we can do . Some Children are Travel sick we have a  Dog that has Motion Sickness  but he is never sick in the car . 

We find ours calm down when the road surface is fairly smooth and we drive at a steady pace. It might be best to consult with your vet if things don't improve. We have tried pheremones (Adaptil) but this did not work either. We have added an extra foam layer underneath the travel crate to lessen road vibration. Ours travel quite well in the car so it's difficult to solve in the  M/H. Good luck, it seems to be a common problem.

hmm...we don't have a travel crate...maybe we could try this. I also like the extra foam idea

We have a Golden Retriever and she is not at all happy travelling in the MH. She used to lay on her bed just behind the passenger seat,  but she would keep sitting up, and of course when I turned or braked she would be wobbling all over the place. She as got a big plastic dog basket , we take that with us now and if we can keep her laying down she seems to be a lot happier and sleeps most of the way, with lots of stops for her to run about of course.
