What age can my large puppy switch from car crate to seatbelt?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is safe for her to make the trip. I would just make frequent stops so she can stretch her legs and go to the bathroom. I wouldn’t feed her during the trip in case she gets car sick. Kisses to your new pup!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congrats! It is MUCH safer to have the puppy with you under the seat. I do not recommend a bully breed, especially a puppy to be checked in the cargo area. As soon as the breeder deems him weaned and ready then he can fly with you. Good luck!

Here is a great website that can give you information on crate training. http://www.thejerseymoms.com/potty-train-your-puppy/ Crate training is a great way to potty train Bella. Just remember she is still a baby so it will take time. Thank you for using PetCoach.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can start from as young as 8 weeks by getting your puppy used to wearing a collar for periods of time. Teach leash walking as a fun game, anywhere from 10-12 weeks onwards, depending on the individual pup - but just don't expect too much too soon. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! 5 weeks is a bit young. You can practice her name now but anything else will be frustrating for you. Most dogs are still with their mothers at 5 weeks. I would start with the leash at 8 weeks and training at 10-12 weeks. Good luck!

It's typically better for Taffy to travel in a crate, especially if you are traveling by car. It helps keep her secure, gives her a place where she feels safe, and will prevent her from falling over and getting hurt. I recommend using a crate to travel with her. Best of luck.

Hello. A puppy should be vaccinated once a month until 16 weeks of age. Until then, disease susceptibility is possible. For the most part, she should be OK to travel, but if you do stop for potty breaks, make sure Luna does not pick up anything on the ground & wipe down her feet with a damp paper towel before getting back in the car. Try to continue her routine at your destination as best as possible, but a relatively short trip like this should not ruin any house training lessons Luna has learned so far. Have a good trip & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
