She recognizes my car so when ever i try to get her close she brèaks and walks away. Ive tryed the treat option but it doesnt work cause she wont get close to it. She is about 70 pounds labrador and if i try to take her in she will bite. Help!!

They’ve never had a problem jumping into the car. Although, I must say my female dog has gotten more reluctant in the last year or so, like she is afraid she won’t make it? Or maybe because the male dog intimidates her? (He always jumps in first.) She has no problem running or acting playful, so I don’t think she hurts. So I recently bought a new car. She jumped in a few times, but now totally refuses. I was thinking maybe it’s of the new car smell? Or maybe she’s noticed the back seat is a little smaller than our previous car? I don’t know what to do because she won’t let me help her. Anyone have any suggestions?

What can I do to get him to go in the car

I use treats but it doesn’t always work. I will try meat after reading your page. If he doesn’t think he has had a long enough walk, he is also reluctant.

7 year old rescue border collie will not get in car. Need ideas to solve this problem

I have exactly the same problem with my Collie who is 3 and has never had a problem getting into the car until a few months ago. The only way to get her in is to pick her up but she is getting wise to this and won’t even come out into the porch. We have tried treats, feeding her in the car, toys in and around the car but nothing works. She plants her feet and won’t budge and looks so anxious. I don’t know if you have resolved your issue or had a response but would be interested to know as we are both at a loss how to get her back in as she is missing out on her long walks and we have had to cut her food down too.

Raisins are very harmful and toxic to all dogs So are some other foods.
Good luck.

I sure wish someone would reply to these as I am having the same issue with my 8 month old English Cream Retriever. She was great as a pup getting into the kennel in my car. but I recently got a new Subaru, so she could ride with me, and she fights us every time. Now we can’t even get her near it.

HELP!

We have over 4 week got her to walk past cars and around one. We use treats to get her into the back. We started with a ramp but as she is a large labrador size she can reach without putting back feet on the ramp so we used a step. She now puts her back feet on the step and front feet in the boot and stretches to the back to get her big treat. Only once has she actually got her entire body in but she jumped straight out and has not been back in since. This has taken 4 weeks and we dont seem to have got any further. After 5 mins she looses interest and sits down and wont move. We cant lift her in as she has not been handled much and wont let you pick her up (she gets very suspicious and jumpy). What else could we do?
