He said we should repeatedly ask to leave, and when given the opportunity to go out, stand in the doorway for a bit before going back inside" Sound familiar anyone?

Currently I'm starting from the beginning just sitting in with him but he is so distressed

My sister's dog has never been keen on the car and would pretty much play dead as soon as the car harness was on. I think when she started to realise that there was often a new walk with exciting smells at the end she relaxed a bit. I don't think she was ever as distressed as Indi though.

She then built up sitting in the car with it turned on, to eventually going out on drives. It hasn't worked with Dexter, but I wonder if it's because he is too "old" now? I know a few dogs that grew out of their car sickness as they got older. It is horrible when they are so distressed isn't it?
