[nagdu] Jumping out of Car

[Nicole Torcolini]

Can you explain why you do not want to use treats? If a dog responds well to
treats, sometimes, this is the best and/or only method that will work.

Subject: [nagdu] Jumping out of Car

I think I may have posted about this before, but it is still occurring.
Corvette and I went to a grad retreat earlier this week; the trainer was
able to get him to jump out of the car there a few times, but now, he is
back to not budging. He becomes one with the car floor and won't move unless
I literally pick him up and move him out. (75 lbs is a lot for me to pick up
and manually move when it's dead weight.)

He will only jump out on his own at home and at my school, but everywhere
else he resists. When he does jump out, I click, then praise him like crazy.
(He won't take treats on lead, which I don't want to break.) I try to
generalize him getting out of the car by using the command "let's go" every
time, but this hasn't seemed to help at other places than my house and
school. He is better about getting up from under tables and leaving places
with the same cue, so he does know what it means.

Any suggestions on how I can get him to jump out willingly, no matter where
we are? I've also tried having him jump out several times during obedience
routines from our car in the driveway, and of course, he will then, but not
when we drive somewhere.

Thanks for any help!
