I don't know if there is too much you can do. My dog loves toys, so he's been pretty content when we've taken long trips. He's only 8 lbs. too, so he can kind of move in the car, at least a little. We schedule a few extra stops when we've taken him though.

I'm from Illinois and live in Florida now. We've taken him to Illinois. About a 19 hour trip by car. I've done this trip several times. There's this rest stop we went to in Chattanooga, TN that has a dog area with some trails. We went over there and walked around and let him stretch his legs for about 15 minutes or so. It adds some time to the trip, but we figured he needed a break.

We've also brought a ball along in case one of these areas is empty so we could throw it around for him. That really gets some energy out. It's not going to be fenced in or anything, so your dog would have to be really good at obeying when you call him.
