In this solo episode of Supporting Both Ends of the Lead, Certified Canine Behaviourist Caroline answers a fantastic listener question about how to make travelling with your dog as smooth and stress-free as possible - specifically when heading off on a three-week campervan holiday with a young puppy.

Whether you're gearing up for a long road trip or a short weekend away, this episode offers thoughtful, practical guidance to ensure your journey is enjoyable for both you and your dog. You'll learn how to prepare your dog for time on the road, how to set up a safe and comfortable travel environment, what essentials to bring, and how to support your dog throughout the trip and on your return home.

We explore key considerations such as safety in transit, how to manage rest and stimulation, what to do about solo time, and why a smooth reintroduction to home life matters just as much as the trip itself. It’s all about preparation, flexibility, and tuning into your dog’s needs - so you can both make the most of your adventure.

Have a question of your own? We'd love to hear it. Head to speakpipe.com/bothends to leave us a voice note, and it may be featured in an upcoming episode.

Take care of both ends of the lead, and happy travels.
