Some dogs simply don’t like being in the car — and it’s more common than people think. Here are the most common reasons, explained in a clear, dog-behavior way:

1. Motion sickness (the #1 reason)
Signs: drooling, swallowing a lot, whining, panting, refusing to get in, vomiting.
2. The car feels unpredictable or scary
For sensitive or cautious dogs, it’s a sensory overload. It feels unsafe, even if nothing bad ever happens.
3. Lack of early exposure
Dogs who weren’t taken on calm, positive car rides as puppies often grow up anxious about cars. What’s unfamiliar = suspicious.
4. Past bad experiences
5. Loss of control
6. They’re highly sensitive to movement or sound
Some dogs—especially herding, sight-sensitive, or noise-sensitive breeds—react strongly to:
• traffic motion outside windows
• passing cars
• loud road noise
This stimulation can be overwhelming, not enjoyable.
7. Physical discomfort

How to help (in simple steps)

✔ Start with the car turned off — reward calmness.
✔ Gradually work up to short, slow drives.
✔ Use a non-slip mat or booster seat for stability.
✔ Crack a window for fresh air (helps motion sickness).
✔ Try calming aids (ginger treats, pheromone sprays).
✔ Make some rides end somewhere fun, not just the vet.

NORTHEAST NEWSREEL - *Starts Today*
CT OFFERING LOW-INCOME PET SERVICES
CT offers pet sterilization and vaccination aid to low-income cat and dog owners

The state of Connecticut is offering vouchers to low-income pet owners to sterilize and vaccinate dogs and cats.

On Monday at 9 a.m., the state Department of Agriculture is set to open an online portal (apcp.ct.gov) for applications to the Animal Population Control Program. All applications must be submitted online.

Eligible pet owners must live in Connecticut and receive benefits from one of five programs through the state Department of Social Services — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Husky A, C, or D (Medicaid); State Administered General Assistance (SAGA); Temporary Family Assistance (TFA); and State Supplement, according to a news release.

Upon approval, vouchers will be issued electronically for up to two pets on a first-come, first-serve basis, the release said. The voucher is valid for 60 days and provides two vaccinations and a one-time sterilization benefit of $200 for a female dog, $180 for a male dog, $120 for a female cat and $80 for a male cat, according to the agriculture department.

Sterilizations and vaccinations must be performed by a Connecticut licensed veterinarian participating in the Animal Population Control Program. A list of participating practices and facilities can be found on the program page. If a veterinarian's spay/neuter fee exceeds the voucher amount, the pet owner is responsible for the difference, the news release said. Also, payment for any additional procedures or medications is the responsibility of the pet owner. Tutorial guides and FAQs are available on the APCP page.

Established in 1995, the Animal Population Control Program aims to reduce pet overpopulation and reduce the spread of rabies and other diseases. It is funded by an annual surcharge on Connecticut dog licenses, adoption fees, proceeds from sales of the “Caring for Pets” commemorative license plates and donations. To date, the program has benefited over 250,000 animals across Connecticut, according to the agriculture department.

“Every pet deserves a safe, healthy life and this program provides owners with the resources to make that possible,” Agriculture Commissioner Bryan P. Hurlburt said. “Through this program we are able to empower pet owners, protect animals, and ease the strain on our shelters. It’s a small step that makes a big difference across Connecticut.”

🐾🥹it’s perfectly OK if your dog is more comfortable hiking in the woods instead of walking on busy streets or public places. 🌲🐾

Here’s why that’s completely fine — and even healthy:

⸻

🧠 1. Every dog has different comfort zones

Just like people, some dogs thrive in quiet, natural environments while others enjoy the city buzz.
If your dog feels calm and happy in the woods — and anxious or overstimulated on streets — it’s better to honor that.

⸻

❤️ 2. Mental health matters more than exposure

Forcing a dog into overwhelming situations can create stress or fear-based behaviors.
Letting them enjoy peaceful, safe hikes helps them build confidence and trust with you.

⸻

🏞️ 3. The woods offer amazing enrichment

Sniffing trails, hearing birds, climbing over logs — it’s all natural exercise and mental stimulation.
Woods walks engage their senses far more than sidewalks ever could.

⸻

🚶‍♀️ 4. Keep them “street-smart enough”

Even if you skip busy areas, it’s still good to maintain basic exposure — like calmly sitting near a quiet road sometimes — just so they don’t lose total comfort with new sounds or surfaces.
But it doesn’t have to be the main focus of their life.

⸻

🐺 5. Let them be who they are

Not all dogs are meant for café patios or city walks. Some are happiest being your hiking buddy, exploring nature trails where they can truly relax.

⸻

👉 Bottom line:
If the woods are where your dog feels safe, confident, and fulfilled — that’s their perfect world, and there’s nothing wrong with sticking to it.
