I agree with Rebecca that we have to be careful not to enforce more fear by over protecting them. Some times just a few rounds of totally ignoring him may work. Have you tried to remove the leash once he is in the car? Hopefully he associates the leash when on him in the car as the culprit and not

Yes it makes sense.  Hard to do but makes sense as our first instinct is to mother our babies when they are frightened or cry.  I was recently over my gfs with Tino.  I had him outside doing his potty before going in to play with her Maltese.  A lady with two dogs walked right up onto the lawn.

Judy, Do you have homeowners coverage in place for the new house?  I would not want to travel without it on one house or the other.  Most policies give you some coverage while you are in transit, so make sure one or the other is in force.  Just curious - Did you travel up to see the new place?
