Flying with Pug Puppy - Advice

[WinnieThe Pug]

Winnie is very verbal, 4 months old, and crazy attached to me. Pees freely on pads all day, poops outside or in certain places indoors. Really no fixed schedule.

I'd like to fly with her - first time - in a few weeks and envision her whining and crying and even barking in her bag underneath the seat for hours. 4 1/2 hr flight. Not so much the bathroom issue but the spoiled brat being stuck in a bag. I did not crate her. She is on my lap a lot.

Any advice?

You can give her a Benadryl! You'd be surprised! I thought Ben would be nuts....but he flew from Columbus to Nevada and then on to San Jose CA.....was a doll!!!!

Start teaching the dog to be calm and quiet in the travel bag?
The pup's definitely old enough to learn!
