help with riding in truck

have you tried putting the little guy in a crate so that he feels safer?  Sometimes just being afraid of new situations is scarey and upsets the applecart so to speak.  You may need to start very slowly......just doing good, happy stuff around the truck, opening the doors and repeating the good/happy, putting him IN a not started truck and making happy.....this will take many days or weeks so don't rush.  You want "going for a ride" to be the very best thing that can happen to him  and not be in any way frightening.  Others will have better ideas, but thats a start.

Glenda's suggestion of a crate is a good one.  Also, depending on his age, you may be able to give him a little Dramamine about an hour before  a ride (check with your vet first).  It's very possible that now he's remembering being sick in the truck, so gets nervous which results in him getting sick again.  A vicious cycle.  Getting a couple of rides under his collar without him getting sick will help.  Oh, and keep the rides short for now- a few minutes tops.  Gradually make them longer.

 Also get him a Kong and the most yummy flavor of Kong stuff to him (usually puppy formula) Give him that just as the truck starts to move. In no time he will think the truck moving is the greatest thing in the world.

 I travel via truck with my babies as well, and that Kong trick has never failed to get me dogs that beg for rides.

All good advice here.  Get him used to the truck with patience...making it a fun and enjoyble place to be.  Same with the crate if he's not used to it already.   It may take time, but just make it a daily ritual...non chalantly.  The truck is just part of life...no big deal.

The Kong is also a great idea.  I might load one up with some Cream cheese.  Maybe even peanut butter or even a combination.  Freeze it the night before (or if you are like me, I sometimes keep loaded kongs in the freezer frequently to offer when needed.  Keeps them busy for a good while.  Your pup will associate the truck with goodies and that will help long term.

I have a dog who gets queezy on car rides...he's been this way all his life.  One suggestion might be to offer some ginger tea before going on rides.    Brew some ginger tea, let it cool.  Then, offer it like a bowl of water.  Might need a bit of diluting if he doesn't take to.  But, it will help the stomach to settle. 

Good luck and keep us posted.

I would use a crate, and not one that's too big either, but the right size for him to comfortably lie down and not so big that he would want to stand and pace around in it.  My dogs have all been OK in the car but I took care of a puppy that threw up her first several times.  I just used old rags in her crate so I could throw them out if she threw up.  We never made a big ordeal of the car (didn't do any work trying to make it fun or exciting), I would just put her in like normal, treat it like something totally neutral.  She soon outgrew the car sickness.

Car sickness (motion sickness) is very common among puppies.  Most outgrow it with time. While I'm all for dogs traveling in crates (or being restrained in some fashion), I'm not sure that traveling in a crate would be a good idea for a puppy with car sickness.  In people with motion sickness, being able to see out is usually helpful, so it may be the same for puppies.  Since it's hard to situate a crate so that such a small puppy would be able to see out, I'd consider using some kind of dog booster seat (with seat belt attachment) instead of a crate.

I'd definitely talk to your vet about the car sickness, and about the dosage for Dramamine or some other drug that can be used.  Benadryl is another drug that can be used for motion sickness, and there are some prescription drugs that are helpful.  Unfortunately, I can't remember the names right now.  I believe Acepromazine is one, but don't trust my memory on that.  While you're talking to your vet, I'd also ask if a dog being able to see out while traveling is more likely to help or make it worse.

JMHO, but I would NOT try to get this puppy to travel for awhile w/o giving him something to help with the motion sickness.  The last thing you want is for a physical illness that he very likely will outgrow in a few months to develop into a life-long psychological fear of riding in a vehicle.

 When Tootsie was a wee one she got carsick everytime, but by 6 months it was gone. Maybe thats whats going on with your beagle baby.
