She has a habit of when she's in the car she pulls on the leash and it makes her wheeze. We hook the leash to a harness. How do I stop that?

Use a crate to transport her instead. A pheromone product such as the Adaptil collar may decrease any travel related anxiety or excitement. Gradually desensitize Roxy to car rides by taking her on daily drives. Start out short and increase the length as she acclimates.
