My dogs act agressively towards other dogs and occasionaly people when driving in the car. They are not aggressive towards people otherwise. In fact I have to work with them to calm down when meeting people. Anyway, what is recommended to stop dogs from barking or generally getting overexcited while driving in the car. My lab will get so excited that we're going somewhere that he whines. These are two different problems, but related.
They are 3 years and 18 months. The 3 year old lab is the real bad one. I excercise them everyday to make sure they get enough. I do not have crates for the car. They sit in the back of my suv. Do I have to crate them when in the car? It seems like there must be some way to correct this behavior.

More for safety than barking I would crate them. Or get them some kind of restraint.
If you were to get into an accident the dogs would be safer in crates plus you would be safer than having a large dog being thrown around in your vehicle. Also, it would keep your dogs from accidentally getting out of the car and running off.
Just something to think about.
I use bark collars in the car when I travel. I can stop it when I am there if the collars are not on, or they just do not bark when I am around, but the minute I am out of sight, I cannot see or hear them, so therefore I cannot correct.
