My dog is 18 months old, he’s a rescue and I’ve had him for 1 year. He hates going in the car and will whine/bark almost constantly. I had hoped he would get used to it but it’s actually got worse ☹️
He will not get into the car of his own accord (I know he is capable of doing it, he did it once and then never again 🙃), I’ve tried waiting him out, praising him when he goes near the car door, throwing high value treats onto the back seat…he just will not get in there. It’s making it impossible to work on any desensitisation. I feel I need to stop lifting him in there really as it would be better for him to choose to get in. Any tips?!
