Some dogs get over it. And some dogs don't. I've seen dogs that get sick anytime they travel more then just a couple miles and it continued through adulthood.

I've found it helps to have them sleep in the dog box in their pen and get used to the box.
Next is to always close the tailgate so they can't see things going by or the road slipping under them.

that is a good point john keep the tailgate closed when you are starting off with a young pup i am guessing you are putting it in a dog box

Yes, Brad.

Like the picture of those 8-9 great looking dogs standing between the dog box and the tailgate, I would pull that dog box with the metal piece doors closer to the tailgate, say within 4-6 inches so when the tailgate is closed, all the dogs would see looking out the dog box doors slats is painted metal, not the telephone poles or anything moving.

Heck, it makes me sickly to ride backward too!
