I think they'll be fine. Just give them time. My dog was shaking and
shivering like crazy the first several flights, and now she hops up on the
wing and gets in the back seat with only a little encouragement.

Of the four dogs who've flown with me regularly, none have been bothered
by it and I can hardly keep my youngest off of the plane while I'm loading
it. (That's saying a lot because they're usually free to run after the
ground squirrels in the lot by the hangar while I'm loading.) Part of the
reason for their comfort is probably because they spent a lot of time in
the plane while it was restored.

I've only flown a guest dog once and he snuggled in nicely with my gang
and had no problems.

She
watches for birds, and can tell when it's time to land (she listens for
the throttle to be reduced).

Our oldest once *told* me it was time to land. We were at 16,500' over
Nebraska at the time... Make sure to pull water well before flying a
long leg.
