I would also recommend taking them to a car wash regularly to get them used to the scary sounds.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I wish you'd shared this tip a year earlier. Brilliant. Thank you for watching!

[@thatsnuts7769]

That sounds like it might work, thanks!

[@spark_6710]

Yes ! Lol. My sister took her dog with 'em to a car wash just a couple of days ago, she videoed it ,where I could see how terrified she was ! Poor thing ! But ,that trick of your might be effective for those flying with their dogs & cats ! But ,I am not really o.k.with dogs & cats flying or even travelling in cars so on as it's very stressful to them !! Especially cats !! So ,unless absolutely necessary, people shouldn't ! There have been too many cases of tragedies that took dogs 's & cat's lives on planes as well !! Unless they can put their dogs& cats in passenger seats ,or checked bag areas ,they shouldn't !! 💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶🐾💕💞

Love your dog. He is adorable. I am a big fan of Aussies & think the Aussiedoodle is precious.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

He is a cutie pie. We get to road trip with him soon.

[@servicedogskidboot]

I recently flew to Europe from Canada with my service dog Skidboot. It was Skid’s first time flying and we had three flights each way. The entire trip including layovers was 24 hours. Here are some things I did to prepare him for the trip (there was a lot more that is specific for service dogs) as well as some of the things I brought for him. - lots of rides in various vehicles (trucks, cars, quads, golf carts) over various terrain (bumpy rides) - several train and bus rides - getting him used to the sight and sound of golf carts as you will come across them at airports - getting him used to the feel of riding in elevators - visit airport beforehand so the dog can get used to the noise and sounds and smells - getting the dog used to suitcases being pulled and dropped on the ground - exposure to people in uniforms - exposure to loud equipment/machines/vehicles - it’s also a good idea to teach your dog to go potty on command on a potty pad (some airports don’t have pet relief areas or they are so disgusting that the dog doesn’t want to use them). In Europe, pet relief areas are almost all the time outside the secure area. - make sure your dog has a solid sit/stay and recall for going through security - make sure your dog is comfortable being touched by strangers as the dog may get patted down by a security officer if you choose to leave his gear on - getting him used to all kinds of noises, e.g. jet/turbo engines starting up, plane taking off, PA announcements, sounds of a busy airport, sounds of people going through security) by playing sounds from KZbin over speaker at increasing volume - withhold food and water before the flight. - bring an extra empty water bottle for your dog that you can fill up after going through security as well as a collapsible water bowl; ice cubes are another option - bring high-value treats (make sure he’s used to them to prevent stomach upset) - dry kibble (amount depends on the length of your trip, but I would say at least 2 days worth for an international trip) and collapsible feed bowl (in case you get stranded somewhere due to cancellation or delay) - bring his favourite toy (non squeaky or silent squeaker), a chew stick (non-smelly) - bring paper towels, wipes, disposable gloves, potty pads in a Ziploc bag to clean up in case of an accident - talk to your vet about giving him something to prevent an upset tummy - original copies of health papers (good idea to have copies with you as well and/or keep on phone) - bring an extra collar and extra leash in case something breaks - check with customs re. bringing dog food, treats into the country you are flying to

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Wow these are fantastic tips! Thanks so much!

[@servicedogskidboot]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thank you!

[@leahc8622]

Im pretty sure the sit & stay while going through security is just for service dogs. Those with regular dogs can hold them through security. (May be dependent on airline or airport)

[@servicedogskidboot]

@@leahc8622 Yes, you are correct. Pets are either held or walked through on a leash.

[@sandicruz8984]

Thank you 🙏

[@MSSKodiak]

I've flown many times domestically with my dogs. The best pet carrier is the Sturdi bag. It has stays that arch across the top so the bag doesn't collapse on the dog, but the stays can squish down to where you can shove the bag under the seat in front of you. I keep a small ziploc with treats in the carrier so that if I need to take him out and put him back in the bag mid trip, I have treats to reward him. I can also reward him any time for good behavior. I've also found that it varies greatly from airport to airport and flight/gate attendant to attendant as to if your dog is allowed out of the carrier to walk vs. being in the bag. I've had a tsa person yell at me for having my dog out, even though 10 feet from where I stood I was going to have to take him out to walk through security check. It just depends on who is working that day. In my carry on, I try to carry stuff that I need for the trip for my dog and check my own things because my items are easier to replace. An empty collapsible water dish is handy for when you arrive at the destination airport to give the dog a drink, and pop up crates/tents fit great in carry on bags. I do always get a health certificate from my vet every time I fly, but I've never once been asked to see it. The best story I have about flying with my dog is when we landed I carefully picked up my dog carrier and put it in my lap. An older lady sitting next to me was surprised that I had a dog in there. She said she thought I was talking to myself throughout the flight! LOL!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Awwww, your dog is so lucky to have you! I'm so glad you mentioned that carrier! Thanks for watching!

[@shatese8166]

PLEASE HELP!!! I too have the Sturdi Bag that I will be using for the first time on Feb. 3, 2021. I am moving and purchased the bag 3 months ago for my 5yr old Maltese Cocker Spaniel. I also purchased the K9 Sport Sack to carry my dog on my back instead of by hand, on my arm, or pulling. We are flying Delta. My dog is used to the crate/kennel but he whines A LOT when we get in a moving vehicle. When I had my car, I had seatbelts for my dog so he was never boxed in (I like for my dog to be as free as possible). I consulted with his vet, received meds for him and did a test run in an Uber to my mother’s house. As my dog was a little woozy, he still managed to whine in the Uber until I took him out of the bag. My dog is an ESA dog however, as of Jan. 11,2021 ESAs are no longer recognized on flights. I say all of that to ask...how do I get my dog to stop whining while crated to avoid disrupting other passengers????

[@Pengiunrocks]

I have a question I have a 100 pound Service dog now he’s a service dog and she can’t fit into a carrier. He needs to be with us in the plane and he’s a fairly big dog do you think he could fit in the leg area

[@catherinekuhle1859]

@@Pengiunrocks Service dogs the train properly then they can do a tuck under the seat .The airline can’t deny your Service dog .

[@jadeykg123]

@@Navi405 its been a bit so you've probably already gotten an answer, but a border collie most likely wouldn't be able to fit under the seat in front of you. Most airlines require the crate to be no larger that 18×11×11ish and that's barely enough room for my 20lb chihuahua mix. It's also very hard to find carriers that meet those dementions that can hold more than 15 or 20 lbs

Hi again! Thanks for watching! Have a lovely day and year!

[@wanrapea]

Thank you for all the tips! It is helpful to be prepared! I've flown many times with my Chi-mix. The best thing I can do to keep her calm, is to remain calm myself. She picks up on when my breathing or expression changes. It reminds me to calm down & breathe deeper. Also, I unzip the carrier top slightly, so she knows she isn't trapped. She is fine as long as she maintains some eye contact with me. They love to be with their peeps!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That’s so wonderful Wanda! She sounds like a sweet dog for the airplane💕

Another training tip- once you land and get your luggage you may want to attach your pup’s container to your luggage (like you would a carry on bag) and roll. Practice that at home, and going up the street with all the vibration that concrete/asphalt creates as you roll.

@@stephanieacierno2584 The best thing ever is the low dose medicine my vet prescribed. It does NOT make them comatose; it will just help her be super chill when she has to be in the carrier for the flight.

Very useful your tips thank you. What you didn't mention was to keep the dogs as I did hydrated obviously not to push water too much as they'll wee wee but enough. When they have chew sticks they will get thirsty which will lead to a headache if they are dehydrated. I also take mine on the aeroplane and her first flight was also 4mths. Thanks for sharing.

I give my service dog ice cubes to lick.

Traveling with my one year old frenchie next week and am VERY nervous. Wish us luck and thank you for this!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Have fun! She will be so cute. Thank you for watching.

Missed you. Happy New Year! Glad things went so well with your precious puppy. We do regular car travel (2 times so far) with our dog and some of your suggestions are useful things we will use . That is one lucky puppy. Glad he did so well for you. Will he always be small enough for an under-seat carrier? Ours is not and I am not comfortable with him traveling in the belly of the plane so airline travel is not an option for us.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hi Nancy. He does not fit anymore; maybe he could if he stayed curled up. Yes we will never put ours in the belly of the plane. Thanks for watching.

[@stephanieacierno2584]

Love your little carrier by the way ☺️🥰

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thank you; it's from when we brought our cat to Texas. Thanks for watching.

Goodness thank you for this video I am flying United and I had no idea where to start

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Glad I could help! Let me know if you think of a tip once you do it. Thank you for watching!

This is helpful for when I take my dog to see my aunt and uncle and grandma in Florida

[@dianebassett1930]

im bringing my new puppy home from florida to los angeles on a plane, this will hopefully help make it an easier flight

We're planning to take our small on a plane flight in July. We've been taking her to the airport to walk around before TSA to get used to the the sounds and all the people. She now gets excited when she sees the airport, because she likes being there.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Awwwww that's so smart! I would do that too if we could do this again.

Hi, in 2018 my kids and me traveled to Italy with two cats!! A great guy/vet told them exactly how to deal with the “emigration”, with getting the pets used to the cages, plus eating a “relaxing” cat food 2 weeks before. Also he suggested that having a familiar-smelly item (an old t-shirt...) inside the bags would help. Very interesting to know that a cat can live without food or water for three days, so 13 hours on the plane was not the biggest deal.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Wow, I never knew that. We asked for a private screening room for our cat when we moved to Houston. I love the idea of a stuffed animal or shirt too. Thanks for watching!

I have not traveled on a plane with a pet but I have an awesome carrier by PetsFit and it is sold on Amazon. Mine has on the side two wings that fold out like a pup tent for when you are sitting and waiting so your pet can stretch out a little. When your ready you fold the wings back in and zip them up. There is also the material on the side so you can slip it securely over the carry on handle when it is extended. My bag fits exactly on top of the carry on bag to and it is the size requirement the airlines require as well. There is a really size pocket on the back to. I hope this helps.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh how amazing that would be! I'll look for it and link it. Thanks KT and thanks for watching!
