    funny is i am actually a corrections officer now and we have dogs come in and out hop in cells tight spots. When those spots are higher then say 4 ft the owner will lift his dog into said spot. I dont think you plan on lifting your dogs into your truck . Not saying the dogs dont do worse then climb in and out of a truck who are police dogs but they do it to a fault. You are right there is no forcing and thats the problem they will HURT THEMSELVES to please you doesnt me they can or like doing it.

    Okay so when your dog gets incredibly excited because he/she knows you are leaving and going somewhere that they will not let you out the door unless they are going out with you, and when you open the door and they "bowl" you over and run straight for your vehicle and keep jumping on the door of it until you let them in, they are just doing that to please me? I don't think so.... Or how about if you leave them in the yard and they watch you drive away and the howl and cry like they are dying, they are doing that because they just wanted to please me by going right? I don't think so, yes there are dogs who don't want to travel, just like there are people who don't want to travel and be truckers, but there are some that do and love it, so that just lumping all pets into one, and that's simply not the case all the time, I even once had a cat who love to jump in our car and take trips too, which most cats tend to hate that, but in that one case, she loved to go. I am beginning to doubt you as a pet owner, are you a wannabe at that as well? I have owned pets all my life, not all of them would have been candidates for travel, but some are, and in my current case the one I have is, and he loves it

    I've owned dogs all my life. My grandfather always had German Shepards, my uncle down the street has a German Shepard. I'm not an idiot, you just want to say whatever you want to have people agree with you. Dogs are generally happy to be with their owners, but it is inhumane to have a huge dog live in a small moving truck with you. When does that dog go outside? You have a 14 hour window to drive in each day, now you need to fit dog care into that time. So, your dog gets out of that small living space 2, 3, 4 times a day maybe, and that's it? Not like you can let him out for long periods of time, you're going to be in shipper/recievers and truckstops. Does your truck have an APU? That dog can't get out of the truck everywhere that you can. Plenty of shippers/receivers don't want dogs on their property. How's it gonna be when the dogs been in the cab half the day and you're waiting 4+ hours to get loaded/unloaded? Those aren't slim possiblities, it happens. German Shepards like open spaces and yards and fresh air.

    I wonder how long you've been a pet owner.

    i find it funny you post this because all of which is just telling me what is really happening, your dog clearly has separation anxiety he does not like riding in a car he knows your leaving and he doesnt want to be left behind should do some research on it might clarify a few issues as to dogs liking car rides. well thats my last post here this is turning into a **** show :)

    That's why you agree with me right? I don't say things to just get people to agree with me, obviously two of you don't, but in life you cant please everyone, and you know what they say about opinion's...

    And name calling, seriously? And I'm the "little girl"...

    The whole point of the original question is to ask advice from people who do take their dogs, was never meant to be a argument about it, you should have started with why you wouldn't recommend it, I was looking for suggestions and advice, not questions to a questions, mud slinging and name calling. Generally people who just say "why would you want to take your dog" or anything along those lines tend not to be pet owners and don't tend to understand bond between pet and owner
