Your Coton will make the greatest of travelers, if you take a little time and prepare him for it. Rides in the car from an early age will train your puppy to enjoy them. Start on quick errands, maybe to pick up a quart of milk, when you only get out of the car for a short time. Watch the temperature in the car, however. It can overheat very quickly in certain seasons. If you need to be able to take a plane with your dog, or even just use public transportation, you will need to buy a Sherpa bag. This is like a woman’s handbag, sized for your dog, with mesh sides so the dog can see out and get adequate ventilation. Some of them even have wheels so that you can pull them. |

One of our puppies left us in New England and drove with his new family to New York City. Three days later he was off on a plane for Florida, and has crossed the country backwards and forwards by now. A good long tiring walk before being put in his Sherpa bag with a favorite chewing thing (marrow bone, rawhide, pigs ear) keeps this traveler quiet. A nice stewardess, and the dog is under a blanket on a lap, sleeping. I know of another Coton who has been to Paris for a vacation. They are happy to be with you, and ask nothing more. |
