How to prepare your dog for air travel

Yes, dogs can travel on planes. However, there are additional regulations and restrictions to consider before you book a flight. Researching the process is important so your dog can stay healthy and happy while traveling. Prepare your dog for air travel with these simple steps:

Before your flight

1. Vet-check
Take your dog to a veterinarian and have it examined for a travel health certificate. It’s a good idea to make two copies of the certificate, leaving one copy with your boarding documents and one taped on your dog’s carrier. If you have specific questions about whether your dog can handle air travel, be sure to ask your vet.

2. Know the rules
It’s very important that you know the rules surrounding air travel for dogs. Each individual airline has specific policies for dealing with pets. In general, your pet needs to be older than 12 weeks, have certificates of vaccinations and good health, and be provided with plenty of food and water for longer journeys.

3. No online booking
Purchase a ticket for yourself in person or over the phone. Inform the sales representative that you will be traveling with a dog, as there will be a fee for an accompanying dog. The fee may depend on where your dog will fit; smaller dogs can often stay in their carrier underneath your seat while larger dogs will typically ride in the cargo section.

4. Get a dog carrier
You’ll need a leash and a carrying case while you’re on the flight. Purchase a dog carrier that is large enough for your dog to turn around comfortably. Label the carrier clearly with your personal contact information and mark the top and sides of the carrier ‘Live Animal.’

“Label the dog carrier clearly with your personal contact information”

It’s a good idea to leave your dog’s favorite toy in the carrier with him, and don’t forget to cover the floor of the carrier with a towel to safeguard against accidents. Inform yourself about the carrier rules and restrictions.

5. Prepare your dog for the carrier
Be sure to acclimate your pup to the crate he’ll be traveling in well ahead of time. You can try placing your dog in its carrier regularly. Then let him get used to staying confined for longer and longer periods of time. Practice the motion of travel by placing your dog in the carrier and then putting it in your car while driving.

6. Final check
Double check that you have your dog’s health certificate with your boarding materials and taped to your dog’s carrier. Also check that the carrier has all the right labels on.

7. Food and water
Avoid giving your pup food for about five hours before the flight, although a little water is okay. Potty breaks are tough at the airport. If your dog is going to be staying in the cargo area, fasten a bowl for water and a bowl for food to the inside of the carrier. Tape a serving of food to the outside of the carrier for flight attendants to use, if there is a delay.

8. Be there in good time
Arrive at least 1 additional hour earlier than recommended, reminding airline employees that you are traveling with a pet when you check-in for your flight. Maybe ask employees to show you where the cargo area is for loading if your dog is not staying in the cabin with you. It will save you a lot of time (and stress).

9. Before take-off
A good way to prepare your dog for air travel is to keep him/her as active as possible up until boarding. That will help your pup burn off energy and anxiety. Resist the urge to give your dog a sedative unless directed by your vet. The more comfortable you can make your animal’s flying experience, the better it will be for the both of you.

Yes, dogs can travel on planes, but be aware of the rules before you book a flight. Prepare your dog for air travel ➔ on the Tractive blog!

HOW TO STOP YOUR DOG NIPPING/BITING

If you’re a dog owner or been around dogs for a while, you have, at some point, been touched by a dog’s teeth. While most of these encounters were probably harmless — an overexcited puppy mouthing your arm or a friendly pooch gnawing on your hand — the potential for bodily harm is real whenever canine teeth meet human skin.

Nipping is an annoying and potentially dangerous habit in dogs. While most dogs nip as part of the play, some do it to send a loud message. Whether your dog is nipping out of playfulness or aggression, you shouldn’t ignore this unpleasant habit.

Before you can figure out how to stop your dog from nipping, you need to understand why he’s doing it. If your dog is a puppy, it’s likely he’s nipping because he wants to engage you in a game (puppies nip each other for fun), or because he’s teething. Either way, this is the time to teach your pup that his teeth should never make contact with human skin, no matter what the reason.

Start by letting your puppy know that nipping is NOT appreciated. The minute he starts to bite you, say “NO BITE!” in a loud voice and end the play session immediately. Do this consistently until your puppy gets the message that when he bites you, you react unpleasantly and then ignore him. And, in the meantime, give him objects he can safely gnaw on to satisfy his need to chew.

However, if your dog is already grown and still has a tendency to nip when he wants to play, use the same method for teaching him that biting is unacceptable. Tell him “NO BITE!” and walk away. Do this each and every time. If you are consistent with this method, he’ll get the message soon enough.

A dog who nips when he objects to what you want him to do has not accepted your authority. And that is NOT okay. To change your dog’s attitude, you need to change his perception of you. He MUST follow your commands — not the other way around. It’s imperative your dog knows who’s in charge.

If your efforts to get your dog to obey you are not working as you wish, it might be time to look at professional help. In the time of COVID 19, the best way is to learn how to do this from the safety of your home from a certified and much-praised instructor. Brain Training for Dogs is a program you should try out if your dog needs to be taught to be obedient and more intelligent in his (or her) interaction with you.
