What happens to Molly when she travels in the car?

Hi Gregg - this is a great site that obviously took a great deal of work and love to put together.
My Sadie is a black & white bench bred Springer. She too has a small problem with separation anxiety when we leave, but seems to settle once she's heard the garage door close. We tell her 'house' and she gets in her crate, not willingly, but she does it! You'll be glad many times over that you crate trained Molly as it comes in really handy. Plus, she'll begin to look at her crate as her safe haven and if she feels the need for some security that's the first place she'll go.
As far as the car sickness, Sadie gets car sick too. Some dogs do grow out of that as they become more use to being in the car. Sadie has not - she's 2 - and I finally had to get some medication from the vet. Since we started using that she's done well. We have a nice soft side crate we use in the car, which not only keeps her safe, but limits the area she can get sick in too!
Springers are great dogs and love kids. It sounds like you chose a great addition to your family. Next time you post, add a photo of Molly!
