Pawsitive Travel: A Calm and Practical Guide to Journeying With Your Dog
Part of the trusted Pawsitive Series by Renee Patience
Planning a trip with your dog can bring excitement, uncertainty and questions about how to make it all work in a way that feels good for both of you. Whether you are heading out for the weekend, taking a longer holiday or navigating day trips and social plans, Pawsitive Travel gives you the tools and confidence to support your dog with kindness, structure and calm understanding.
This book is written for real-life travel, not ideal conditions. You will not find rigid routines or overwhelming checklists. Instead, it offers clear guidance on how to read your dog, plan ahead and make thoughtful adjustments when the unexpected happens – all while keeping your dog’s comfort and emotional safety front and centre.
Inside this book, you will find:
Step-by-step guidance for preparing your dog for travel, including car journeys, public transport and shared spaces
Practical approaches for supporting dogs who feel anxious or overwhelmed in new environments
Advice on helping your dog settle in accommodation such as hotels, holiday cottages and campsites
Calm strategies for eating, sleeping, toileting and resting while away from home
Tips for managing day trips, busy areas, warm weather and longer adventures
Insight into helping your dog return home gently and settle back into their usual rhythm
Everything in this book is rooted in positive reinforcement, consent-based handling and realistic, pressure-free support. There is no expectation of perfect behaviour or fast results. Just clear, calm advice that helps your dog feel safe, seen and supported every step of the way.
Written by Renee Patience, founder and head trainer at Paws Academy, this guide draws on years of experience helping dogs and their humans travel with less stress and more connection.
If you want to explore the world with your dog without pushing them beyond their limits, Pawsitive Travel will help you build confidence together, one thoughtful choice at a time.
