1. Bring reminders of home
Bring a few of their favorite things on the road to remind your dogs of home. The familiar smells will make them feel more comfortable in a new place.
2. Keep calm
Dogs can read your energy, so make sure to talk to them calmly when you’re in a new place. If you get too excited or anxious, they’ll start feeling the same way.
3. Experience new things
One of the best ways to help your dogs adjust to new surroundings is to expose them to as much as possible. I take Zeus and Sedona everywhere, so they can more easily adapt to future experiences.
4. Be patient
Your dogs will have their ups and downs when traveling around just like you will, so remember to be patient with them and focus on having fun!
5. Give them some fuel
When Zeus and Sedona have a harder time adjusting, I try to distract them by feeding them a small handful of Nature’s Recipe® dog food. This little bit of fuel is a real pick-me-up.
ABOUT
In December 2016, Jordan Kahana went on a life-changing road trip with his friends. On his way to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Jordan saw two, eight-week old puppies on the highway and immediately pulled over to help them. The Adventure Squad was officially born. From that day on, Jordan and his two dogs, Zeus and Sedona, have continued their adventures, driving more than 40,000 miles, visiting 35 states, 18 National Parks and two countries.
