How to help my 9-week-old puppy get used to car rides calmly?

How can I get my 9 week old puppy beagle to get used to car rides? As soon as she gets in the car she starts to cry and shake and freak out? How can I help her stay calm and get used to the car rides? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 3 days old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tiffany. I would recommend starting very slow with her. If she does not get car sick, you can offer treats. Start by driving her around the block. Do this until she seems more comfortable. Then gradually increase the distance. You can give her a special treat or toy that she only gets in the car to create a positive association. You can also drive her somewhere she likes such as a park for her to play. Most puppies will adjust with time. Just be consistent with her and do short trips daily. I hope this information helps!
