Bartok Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am 100% sure there is no injury that it is pure bad behaviour He has no issues running out the front door and off the verandah and into the back of the car with the other dogs. Again, last night ran around the oval without an issue but even with treats (which he never refuses) would only get back in if he was allowed in the front seat I will still take him to the vet with me on Friday but he is not impressing his mother very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Can you get him in via the front seat then shut the door and shove him into the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I have never managed to get Bubby into the car! Not with roast meat, pie, cake anything! He is perfectly fine but will not get into the car so we carry him in. People often point and laugh at him and us! I just couldn't and wouldn't do that, I have Danes mind you but I just can't see me accepting that from a dog. HAHAHA! Sas if you'd had Mr Darcy you would've had to swallow your pride and lift him in as he couldn't do it himself! To the OP If you are very certain it is due to 'naughtiness' then you may want to engage a trainer. Most likely if he is naughty with this there are other areas he is being defiant with as well? Firsty. I would say absolutely no more front seat! That is exactly what he wants so in effect you are training him to behave that way by rewarding him with what he wants. I actually think it wouldn't be a bad idea to lift him in to the car at the first sign that he is going to be defiant about it. Tell him get in the car and if he doesn't do it straight away lift him in with no fuss. I wouldn't say his is a long-term solution but atleast it is not rewarding his bad behaviour - and atleast you are not wasting valuable time! My Dane had a spinal malformations (so he could not get into the car without help) and he weighed over 60 kgs, I weigh 50 kgs. But I could get him into the car by lifting his front first and then lifting his back end. So If I can do it - so can you! :D Edited May 5, 2010 by raineth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are joking, time for some training I think, for Bubby, he has you trained well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRottweiler Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Clear sign of dominance. Show the dog who is boss, he gets in and sits in the back or he is dead. Simple. Edited May 5, 2010 by DerRottwelier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I am 100% sure there is no injury that it is pure bad behaviour Really? I'd be interested to see what the vet says about his hips. Going to the park is one thing. If he's not done this before and he resists getting in after exercise, I'd not be writing this off to "dominance". See what the vet says.

griff Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Licking of paws is / could be = a sign of pain . I feel that maybe something is hurting him hence him refusing to get into the car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
