crate if possible! this will make it that much easier to travel. please introduce the crate before you take your trip. take your time with it, and make sure there's plenty of reward history. use a crate that is big enough for the dog to stand up and turn around comfortably. if your dog is squeezed in a crate for a long period of time it wont be fair at all.
2. don't just throw the dog in the back of your pick up.
i know this is very tempting when you have a pick up truck. don't do it. you may tell yourself you wont hit anyone but you never know.
