I have an American Eskimo (F, in tact) who will be two at the end of May. She has always been pretty sensitive i.e. not going potty in the rain, doesn't like her feet touched/nails clipped but she usually does well in the car until recently. We had to take an hour drive to visit family and it was raining on the drive and she was like panting frantically, pacing out of her bed, shivering and quaking. She will try and jump into my lap or the front seat and if I place her back she shakes worse, she has become extremely clingy recently to the point of always wanting attention if I'm at my desk, driving, in bed, etc.
I deliver groceries part time and have been taking her on my longer deliveries to try and help her see the car is good, but she just looks miserable and shakes. She also loses her mind at visitors/if anyone approaches the car (barking, growling etc.). She has a really nice car seat but refuses to stay in it and i'm just not sure what to do? Advice appreciated!
