RE: Problem with dog travelling in vehicle
We have tried a few seatbelts but she is an escape artist. One minute she is seating all nice in the seat and the next minute she making her way up to the front seat. We used about 3 different types of seat belts and she escapes from them all.

Problem with dog travelling in vehicle
We have a trip to Yellowstone planned in about a week and we are having a lot of trouble with our 7 year old bichon dog in the vehicle. She doesn't travel well so we did have her booked to stay at our local kennel but just last Sunday we found out that the kennel our dog was supposed to stay in didn't book her in so now there is no room so she has to come with us. She is a really great dog but we have had increasing issues with her traveling with us. She has always been crate trained and loves her crate at home. We put the crate in the vehicle and she gets really bad anxiety and throws her self around in the crate and won't stop whining or barking. We have spent the last week taking her on small trips and stopping at parks just to get her to understand that traveling isn't a bad thing. When she is barking or whining we don't acknowledge her but she will continue for hours. At Christmas we usually have a 10 hour drive and she really never settles down. If we are on the highway she will whine but when we slow down or stop she will bark. We have a routine before she travels. We take her for a little walk, get her to go pee, give her water and then settle her in the vehicle in the crate. I turn the vehicle on and we begin the agonizing trip. We usually have to stop a few blocks down to let her go pee again. We stop the vehicle and wait until she is quiet and then take her out. WE have tried everything. We give her bones to chew, we make sure she is cool. We are really ready to lose our minds. She is an amazing camper and once we get to our destination she is great. She does not bark or whine anytime else except in the vehicle. If anyone could help I would be glad to hear from you.
Thanks

Montana
We are from Alberta so we thought we would go down into the states for our 2 week holidays. We are planning a trip to Montana but are having trouble figuring out where we should go. We have booked 4 days in Yellowstone but we would like to stop somewhere on the way down and then on the way back. Is there things to do or good camping around Great Falls, Helena, Butte or even Missoula. If anyone could recommend anything it would really be helpful. Thanks so much.

Trip to Montana
We are trying to plan our summer holidays to and we figured we would go south to Montana. We are coming from Alberta and we were planning to travel to Yellowstone National Park. I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on where to camp around Yellowstone. Is there places along the way we should stop and stay for awhile. We have two weeks holidays so I think we will only get as far as Yellowstone. We would like full service campgrounds but will be fine without for a few days if the campground is nice. If anyone has any information on campgrounds that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
