brian landis Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2005 Posts: 26 Loc: currently italy Offline	I am taking a three year old lab that is very skitish around other people. I am looking for tips to help reduce the stress and help the transition. I am also curious about what if anything I should put on the bottom of the kennel? Is there anything that I can do at the airport that they don't tell you that you can do

I use a full size bath towel that I've used once as dog bedding when I ship dogs as I believe that a dog will be soothed by it's owners scent during the flight. That's a worth a few extra dollars in shipping cost to me. I go through a lot of cheap bath towels per year, needless to say...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The Fetz dog: http://www.leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/79673/page/25

Just wondering what the purpose is for that? Because it's absorbant. Some dogs drool, pee, have diarrhea or vomit when they are nervous in transit. It keeps things a bit tidier.
