[nagdu] Need help

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hello Melissa, 
I am sorry to hear that things haven't been going so well with your guide. The first thing I want to say is that all these things can iron out in time. It can be difficult for a new dog to adjust to life with a new handler. A lot of what you describe sounds like stress related issues that, while they need addressed, are certainly not disastrous, partnership risking issues. 
First, where is your dog from? This can help us know a little about how your dog was trained. Second, I would advise you strongly to keep your dog on leash at your mom's until it's behavior improves and you can trust it to be well mannered. If you catch your dog relieving himself inside, you can then quickly address it by scolding the dog and possibly giving a leash correction. Your dog needs to understand that you are boss now, no matter where you are. 
As far as the car goes, your dog is likely associating the car with some sort of negative experience. You can try rewarding your dog with food when he is close to or in the car, to make it a more positive situation. 
I hope this helped. Good luck! 
Aleeha and sleepy Dallas

> 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.
