Have you tried the Adaptil spray? HUmphrey does still whinge but its most definately better than before. I spray the box and the bedding about 15 minutes before we go. ..... worth a try!

Update: the Adaptil spray didn't work.

On Monday morning I put him in the car and he started barking before I'd even closed the boot. Exasperated, I took him out, back into the house, back into the kitchen behind the baby gate and left him five minutes. When he'd calmed down, back in the car. Bark bark. Took him out, repeated the process. All the while saying nothing at all. Fourth time we did it he got into the car, gave me a searching look, licked my face as I settled him into the crate and was silent for the whole trip!

Quiet again this morning. Fingers crossed we're on our way to breaking the habit.

I've only just read this thread, we have similar issue here with Oscar and whining in the car.

Thats a lot of patients you had there Londongirl, i hope all is now well with Henry on his trips to the park :)

We still have a bit of whining  on the way to the park - like he's singing along to the radio, but is not so bad I can't ignore it. And not a peep on the way home or going out in the car at other times. I don't know about being patient - he drives me mad sometimes, but you just have to grit your teeth and try something positive rather than losing it. Not easy!

Yeah, that's the way to look at it, - stay positive and be thankful he doesn't know how to whistle!  :005: :005:
