Car Rides & Car Washes

Car Rides

Many of our families love to take their pups everywhere! Learning how to be a safe passenger is therefore of utmost importance.

The bumps and jolts of a car wide can cause some panic. A pup should never think it is okay to jump into their owner's lap while they are driving. This could be deadly for anyone in the vehicle. Instead, they will need to learn to stay in their carrier or the seat designated for them.

For this reason, we take the pups on as many car rides as possible.

Car Washes

We also love taking our pups through as many car washes as possible. This is a totally different experience than a typical car ride.

At first, pups are nervous. The sudden change from a light to dark atmosphere concerns them. Then, the intense blast of water and soap suds makes them cringe.

To help ease the stress, we hold them, stroking them calmly and lovingly. We let them look out the window as they feel comfortable. Eventually, pups feel secure enough to be curious and interested in the .

Before long, going through the car wash is one of their favorite activities!
