Quick update. I worked on it really fast for about a week. everyday was treats and car. I started out just going in the car, like we always do. Then another day, start the engine. back out. stay in the parking lot make a circle, drive down the street.
And then the day came for our first big drive. I decided to put her up front with me, seatbelted in, but not in a crate or anything. Um, I fed her treats the entire way (30 mins of treats). No drooling (stress), no vomiting. She wasn't comfy, but was okay. Then we drove home Again, 30 mins of treats, no drooling, no vomiting. Yay!
Then another car trip day. Same set up (which personally, I don't like, but it worked the first time). I fed her less often and then we had a little bit of drooling. I started petting her and the drooling stopped. I only gave her a handful of treats, like when I had to turn sharply, brake suddenly, big loud truck passed us, etc. But yeah, 30 mins of petting. It seemed to work. I haven't had to take her anywhere recently, but am thinking a drive the block might be needed to reinforce all the work I did.
At least there was no vomiting and way less stress. So yay on that.
