Recently I bought a dog car seat for my Chihuahua so she will be safe when we drive around. She had previously been happy sitting on my lap and looking out the window. Now she sits in her car seat and cries and whines the entire time because she wants to sit on my lap. I've tried ignoring her, correcting her with stern reprimands and turning up the radio so I cant hear her, but nothing works. She is a big sissy momma's girl and more needy than most Chihuahuas which is saying alot lol!! Suggestions?
I've tried talking to her and reassuring her, but it makes her behavior worse. If I even look over at her she starts jumping up and tugging against her leash.

I bought a car seat for her because she travels with me a lot, going to places like...the park, the vet and my boyfriends house. I bought the seat after I had to brake hard and she flew off my lap, and it's never safe to drive with a dog distracting you. K??
