My Maltese was so scared of being in the car that she would howl, squeal, cry and push herself into the seat, I found that just ignoring her noises eventually stopped her, if you make a big deal of it they think there is something to be scared of. I would just take her for short drives to get her used to the car. It took a long time to get her somfortable in the car, she is now 2yrs old and now sits on the seat and as long as she can see me she is ok. She has never actually thrown up in the car so I guess its not car sickness. I can guess how your dog feels, because I do get car sickness, I find that if I sit in the front and always look out the window its not too bad, maybe you could sit your dog up higher on a booster seat and put him in a harness so he can feel secure and look out the window. Just a thought. Good luck.
