I am about to bring home my new puppy. I know it is best to crate her during car rides and plan to do so to take her home. When is a good time to transition to being buckled in the backseat? I want to socialize her to this for future rides. She is a large collie breed.

HI, thanks for for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would start training her to a dog car seat around 12-14 weeks and hopefully have her comfortable and sitting it it full time by 6 months or sooner. Congrats on your new addition and good luck
