190 horses and one dog.

What goes through the minds of our beloved four-legged friends when we take them on the motorway? Carola Baum has run a mobile dog school for ten years, and knows exactly how to make car journeys more enjoyable for your dog.

To help your future journeys pass as pleasantly and quickly as possible for all vehicle occupants, refer to the following short checklist of "dos and don'ts" for driving with your dog:

Table
DOS
DON'TS
  • Keep the dog's safety harness near to the dog before a car journey. This builds trust
  • If the dog is strapped in on the back seat, the rear protective cover should be used to prevent the dog from slipping off the seat
  • A partition is advisable to protect both the dog and people from high-stacked luggage in the luggage compartment
  • As soon as the dog starts to become unsettled, take the next exit and have a break. Games during a break can be rewarded with small snacks
  • Never travel with your dog unsecured, as according to traffic regulations dogs, like humans, must be strapped in. The safety harness for dogs is suitable for this
  • Don’t forget to secure luggage as well so that the dog cannot be injured by sharp or moving objects
  • Both too much and too little space can cause the dog to become stressed. The available space must therefore be suitable for the size of the dog
  • Never leave your dog alone in the car in summer. Even leaving the window slightly open is not enough

Clearly belonging on the list of dos: a day on the beach with the dog. Now take a look behind scenes at the photo shoot with Carola Baum and her Bernese mountain dog Rosi:
