Warm up
Practice the behaviors your dog will need to have fun on vacation.
Eat with him on the patio of a local dog-friendly restaurant so that he's prepared for eating on the road. Bring lots of treats and reinforce good behavior. And if you purchase anything new for the trip -- a crate, travel bed, bowls, etc. -- give your dog time to explore the new items before departing.
