[nagdu] Need help

[Vivianna]

hi melissa,
your new dog is probably very confused and unsure of himself.  if it were me, i would be keeping him on leash at all times during this transition period.  also, when getting into a car, taxi, uber, van, etc.  i always get in first and then have the dog get in and remain on the floor.  all guide dogs are trained not to get onto the seats.  if you are trying to force him to get on the seat this may be confusing him.  taxis and many people do not want dogs on the seat.
remember, dogs thrive on consistency and repetitive behavior.  
HTH,

Vivianna

> I was just placed with my guide dog in the last two weeks. I had him pee in my moms house three times. I have taken him out so not sure why he did that. He does not do that at my house. We were staying with her a few days. The new thing is he unwillingness to getting in the car. I tried telling him up and patting the seat but he would not get in. I tonight after dinner out and he would not get in. So I took him to the grass and let he pee. I thought ok that was the problem but nope still a no go. I ended up picking him up and putting him in the car. Not a happy person right now. I have called the school but thought I would ask you guys. The only thing I can think of is that the other day when I put him in the car wined. I don't think I got his tail but maybe I did and that's the problem. Any help would be great.
