[nagdu] Getting in trucks

[Ashley Coleman]

Hi all
Thank you all for your advice. I will start trying some of these suggestions
this afternoon. Raven, usually he gets in first, he's used to that,. I can
understand getting in a head of him to encourage him. 
Rox, I will try some treats and a few tennis balls, he's all for putting his
front paws in, but no more than that. I've thought of constructing some sort
of step between the ground and the truck. Sherrill, I know how you feel.
It's been five years since we've been home from GEB, but it feels like just
yesterday. 

Thanks again everyone for your help and support. It is much appreciated.

Also, do you have the harness on when you have him get in the truck? A
couple of my dogs have not liked jumping in the back of an SUV with their
harnesses on. The GDB harness handle sticks up a bit from the dog's back,
and they don't seem to like jumping in vehicles with the harness on. Before
the harness changed, my dogs didn't mind getting in and out in harness,
well, till they aged and found it too hard to jump in anything high.

Can you use treats?  That might work.

Hi all
Today I had an issue where Landon slid while getting in the back of my mom's
SUV. He rides in the luggage area so that he can move about comfortably.
There is a crate back there, and has never had any issue getting in the
truck before. He had his front paws on the truck getting in, and somehow
slid. Since then, he refused to get in the truck, he will put his front paws
up, but I can't seem to encourage him to jump in. He's a 7 year old Golden,
and doesn't have any problem getting in the pickup, but also does not like
our other SUV. 

Has anyone experienced this before, or have any advice. I'd like to work
with him on getting back in the SUV's, but I'm not sure how to approach
this. 

Thank you all for your advice.
