Carsickness

Start by taking your pup on very short trips up and down the block, for example, every day for a week.  Make sure it has been 2-4 hours since your pup last ate, and avoid a route with curves.  Keep the trip upbeat and happy, and follow up the excursion with a play session, so that your pup associates the car with something he likes. 

Ignore any vomiting.  Clean it up when you get home, and try again the next day, making a shorter trip.

When the pup shows no signs of nausea, begin increasing the distance of the ride.  Always be sure to praise your pup at the end of the trip.
