I was wondering if any of you guys have ever seen this. I got a male that's about two years old. He acts perfectly normal in the kennel. When I take him hunting he does a good job, acts healthy and minds well. But when I put him in the dog box, he starts to drool and slober uncontrollably. I figure he just gets nervous in the dog box, I don't know for sure though. I thought maybe one of you might know if there was a way to stop him from doing this. My poor little female gets soaked when traveling with him!!

danny, i think your right. sounds like your hound has suffered from motion sickness in the past or is anticipating motion sickness again. i have seen some hounds start drooling before the truck ever gets in motion. i think they are nervous about the trip they are about to take, but i don't know of a cure.
i got one

I have one that frets. When she gets stressed she drools bad. Noticed it when I started taking her out by herself or when I chain her up. Not a problem. Had me worried for a while.

I have a male dog that drools everytime in the dog box as well. I know what you mean - he soaks himself and any dog riding with him. Soon as I take him out he is perfectly fine. It worried me at first, but I guess I've just gotten use to it and expect it now. Don't know how to cure it.

Ive got a female that did the same thing. She did it from about the age of 6 mths old to a little over a year old. Then she stopped drooling so bad and finally stopped all together. She doesnt do it anymore, kind of like she grew out of it.

I have a female that has done it since a pup and she still drools and she's three now.It has to be motion sickness but when I cut them loose to hunt she doesn't act sick.When she was young and in serious training I aways put a e-collar on her about fifteen minutes before I loaded them up and now if I put a collar on her in the yard and have been going out to my truck she starts slobbering even before I put them in the box. Take care..........FullCry
