[nagdu] Need help

[Shannon Dyer]

Good morning, Melissa.

When the dog relieved in your mom's house, was he on leash? Also, how much water had he consumed prior to relieving.

I've gotten all three of my dogs from GDF, and we're told to keep dogs on leash at all times for approximately the first month. After that, the dog has to earn its free time by behaving well. When you take your dog to a new place, I'd suggest keeping him on leash with you until you know he can be trusted to behave well.

As far as cars go, what procedure did you use to get your dog in the car? I was taught to have the dog sit, get into the vehicle, and then call the dog to come in. My dogs have been small enough to sit at my feet in the footwell of the front seat. i know this isn't always possible, due to the size of some dogs. I then reach around, making sure the tail is tucked before closing the door. I discourage other people from closing the door for me, because I want to make sure that tail is safe.

Good luck. Hopefully, your school will get back to you, and give you suggestions that might be more specific to the particular needs of you and your dog.

> 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.
