Bad Travellers

[Aussie Whip 4,134]

The only reason they might not work well is cause there sick as by the time they arrive at their hunting destination.

I always like to introduce a dog to the car at an early but one thing I will say is some dog just wont travel no matter what you do I've got a Russell dog and he does slight wine under his breath when he's going out its not loud but he's always done it think it's because he knows he's going out for a mooch

I have a 4 year old bitch here, working, gifted to me by a mate, she doesn't travel well

My old lurcher was sick when traveling not all time just my pal drove like a c**t swinging motor round corner if drove steady she was fine never put her of work

I've always found if you get them used to it from an early age they soon adapt and get used to it.

I've one particular terrier here that's a bad traveller. His mother was the exact same and both had been introduced to travelling at a young age and it made no difference whatsoever. His mother used to lie on top of the terrierboxes in back of the van quite happily on a jumper and could have been drove from here to cork without being sick, as soon as you put her in the box and drive a bit down the road she'd have been sick. My dog is the exact same. I don't put him in the box on the way out hunting but I put him in on the way home, he's never sick on the way home, always on the way there so I choose not to put him in until I've got to where im going, works for me. He's a biddable dog and doesn't fight so it's no hassle having him loose.

My Lurcher is a cnut for drooling and barfing in cars. I once went fishing with a few mates. Before leaving I fed the dog some chopped up fresh mackerel (big fuucking mistake). Yep you guessed it partly digested, chewed up, stinking mackerel all over his boot :laugh:

 

On trains, buses, trams etc he has no problem whatsoever which leads me to believe the earlier they are introduced to a method of travel, the better.

*Some* is motion sickness, so being in a box or footwell is fine and avoids the problem. My first terrier was like that

 

*some* is bad, jolts driving

 

Some is just plain travel sickness

Never had a problem with dogs geting sick while travelling.I live in a small houseing estate with a green at front so when dogs are pups i just put them in the box and drive around the green and after a few times doing this i start bringing them on longer runs until eventually they will jump in themselves knowing they are geting out and about.I myself hate travelling in the back of a van especially if there is no windows,my stomach turns more so if there is a big GARDA sign on the side of the van,lol.

The show fraternity put an inch or two of newspaper in the bottom of a bad travelers crate to ensure it arrives at the show with it's hair do still perfect so it must work.

The only ones I've had that worked themselves in to a fit where ones who knew they were going hunting, and that's not good either. Leaving your hunt in the vehicle is no good.

JMHO but bringing a pup in a vehicle as much as possible is just as important as lead training and stock breaking to getting a well socialised youngster.

 

I even know of one poultry fancier who puts his chickens in their carrying boxes and brings his kids to school when getting them ready for a show.

It's the little things that can make a difference.

my brother does the same with he's chickens . Onetime he put some diesel in the garage got back in he's van and he's best bird had escaped , Luckily it's a tame so he didn't spend to much time running it around lol.

Does the same with he's goldfinches .
