Boy, do I need some suggestions. Suddenly Jinxie doesn't want to get in the car?! I went through this with her once before and worked with her for a few days getting in and out in the garage and then she was fine.
Well I've been taking her out more to Petsmart to get her used to more people for her therapy dog training. She's doing great and really fantastic in petsmart!
So I don't get it? Our car is a Subaru Impressa, so it's kind of small, but she fits as did all our other Danes.
I'm back to working with her getting in and out of the car in the garage. She won't get in if I'm not in the car already?! If I get in the front seat and close my door and call her she jumps in happily, but never if I'm not inside the car already!! Please any help would be greatly appreciated. How can she be a therapy dog if she's afraid to get in the car??? Our evaluation is next Sunday! Fortunately they won't see her get in the car, but they will probably see us leave!!
Thanks so much and sorry for the length of my plea!
Ellen
