1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Poor Jack! At least mine aren't vocal, though Ghost HATES riding in my car. She's cool with Aaron's, but I think the noise from my engine scares her.
Is Sierra at least good in the car?

OMG! I'd slap him! lol. Siku used to whine in the car, but doesn't do it as much anymore (maybe from us yelling at her so much for doing it!).

Will a crate fit in your car? Wonder if he was crated if he would settle down?

i think that would just make it worse! he is fine on the way home as the car ride usually involves a hike or trip to the dog park and then he is worn out! but yesterday after 2hrs of running around he still screamed on the drive home
oh ken yells when he is in the car with us but it does no good. i have tuned it out or sometimes i just talk to him and laugh! i get looks from people in cars next to us at red lights!

LOL Zander does the same thing. Or did. The more often he was in the car, the quicker he settled down.

Holy hell, Jenn. I couldn't do it. At minimum there would be a muzzle. Jack embarrasses the hell out of me when people start emerging from their tents at ungodly hours of the day. Ridik whines under his breath for the last 15 minutes of every drive, but that's the extent of it until he hears Jack going nuts. Lindsay keeps repeating, "at least you're not Jack, at least you're not Jack..." whilst covering her ears.
You can see it in his eyes that he thinks screaming makes things happen. Yeesh. No way I could ever handle that.

What about a bone Jenn? Or something else high value and involving.
OR actually in an episode of It's me or the dog I remember her working with a bunch of Great Danes in a Range rover who would bark and carry on. She covered up the windows and would open them when they were quiet, but once they started she'd cover them up again. Maybe blocking Jacks view would calm him down a bit.

Eddy Jack embarrasses me as well...
Kristina, i put bully sticks and raw hides on the floor for them, sierra will just lay there going to town on them! have treats in the car that i will give if he is good, and thats not often. he is even madder now that i have that center block up so he cant get up front, now he is doing that laying on top of the seat at the end of the video to "feel" like he is upfront. i just tune it out and it does not bother me much anymore...

Biko mostly sets on the floor behind me and rests his head on the console. Adobo mostly pokes her nose out the window for the wind going by and then an occasional snorf snorf in my ear with a big wet kiss.
I use to own a hunting camp about a 100 miles south from Akron, NY and had a friend that had a totally insane Germ/ Shep that howled and would bounce back and forth from the front to the back seats. Gawd I hated that dog when we traveled together. 2+ hrs of pure insanity, feet on the ground he was a fantastic dog.

Jack is saying Daddy Smurf are we there yet .. Anubis did this when he was young, although he loved driving in the car from the start, now is quiet during the whole drive

Know that I feel bad for you, but that said, getting a 43 second chunk with that video is pretty hilarious.

Anubis does this too but only if he has to be on the back seat, when it is a bigger car with a crate in the back he settles immediately. He loves driving with a car, either he is excited or gets bored when the driv elasts longer than 5 minutes lol. Anyway it is embarrassing as hell
