Dog Trailer

Hello

This might be a post for a dog forum but thought someone on here my have experienced a similar episode to the one that I have.

We have bought a dog trailer so that we can bring our dog with us when we go cycling while we’re on camping trips. We have a camper van so I wouldn’t leave her alone.

She’s a lab who is normally happy with anything. We trained her to get in and out of the trailer and she was very happy. She is crate trained so it would seem perfectly normal to her. However, when we took her for her first trip (about 10 seconds) she went berserk. Not just a bit mad but she’s ripped the cover, she was clawing that hard and the noise was incredible. It was quite upsetting. Needless to say, we cut the trip short and got her home.

Has anyone had a similar experience and have you been able to help your dog get over their trauma?

Thanks in advance.
