seperation anxiety or dislike of crates?
My dog ella is a 7 mo old lab/golden mix. we are visiting my grandparents in Arizona, and had driven here from Houston,Texas(a 14 hour drive), during the drive she was in a crate, now mind you, this dog has been crated before and is crate/house trained, so when she puked i assumed it was motion sickness, however, during the day, if left alone, she is in the crate, and i noticed she was still puking however, its never chunks but more or less water.so im wondering if this is a minor case of seperation anxiety or if she just really dislikes being in the crate.thats for your well thought out, educated, expierenced answers.we have been here for almost two weeks, and she had meet the grandparents before, and she already runs the house when shes out, so ATM im rulling the new place theory out.the climate isnt too much change, we just got rid of the humidity comming here:]the only thing i havent been able to do with her since weve been here, is run, at home we run 3 miles a day, however in the middle of the arizona desert, running isnt the smartest thing.the only other factor i can think of ATM is that she is away from her mother and my other dog,(this is a puppy I kept from my dogs(dog) Small, bent metal fitting used to secure watertight doors, hatches, covers, scuttles, etc.http://toysforkidsvt.com/index.php/marine-dictionary litter). however she seemed to do fine when we stayed overnight at my other grandparents with thier 3 dogs(where we are there are 3 inside dogs, 4 outside dogs, a gaurd dog, and my great gmas dog next door;my grandparents bred/showed dogs)taking her to the vet isnt exactly the most favorable choice, if it needs to be done, it could, however, im 15,this is my dog,i pay for her care,and plus, we arent by the reg vet.she is 7 months old.i dont think shes too young,lolbut i will tryIf she is not sick it is probably a minor case of excitement/anxiety brought on by a number of factors such as you described. Good luck

Ms. Sharpe invented The Anxiety Wrap to help her clients' dogs remain calm during training or boarding. She started using T-shirts with duct tape to apply more pressure to the dogs(dog) a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds; the dog barked all nighthttp://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=dog body because it produced a greater calming affect. After 90 prototypes, she developed a unique product with a comfortable, breathable fabric a dog wears like a bodysuit. It has just the right amount of stretch to continuously reinforce the gentle pressure as the animal moves freely about. Ms. Sharpe incorporated the techniques of Maintained Pressure and Acupressure into the design. While the method of Acupressure has been around for thousands of years, Maintained Pressure was first publicized by Dr. Temple Grandin, an autistic doctor who developed the Hug Box, a calming device for people with autism.
Thunderstorm and fireworks fear are our biggest uses, followed by separation anxiety, and other anxiety and/or fear-related behaviors such as jumping and barking, explains Ms. Sharpe.
