Im in Australia and do this alot. I doubt you would do much differently in the US just from going state to state. Most dogs handle a flight really well, some are a bit nervous cause its strange to them. The dogs are put in with all the other cargo, but they cannot harm themselves or get out cause something around the door so they cant open it.
I wouldnt sedate your dog for the flight unless your vet think its appropriate to do so. And the dogs come out with the cargo and go to the loading bay, not getting xrayed like humans do. Just find out where to pick up the dog once you have got off the flight. It usually takes half hour after the passengers are off to be able to pick your dog up.
