How do I get my dog to ride in the car?

by Joe
(Oak Island, NC, USA)

I can't get my dog to go in our vehicle she is afraid of the car. However,
as with most dogs, she is very fond of food! I simply coax her into the car
with a treat. Of course, once she is inside, she goes back to being scared
and I have not been able to fix that. Still, most dogs, like humans, will put
aside their fear for the right prize.

Bribing Your Dog with a Treat
by: Donna

Hi Joe,

Bribing your dog with a treat is not a bad idea to get her into the car but you still have the issue of fear once inside your vehicle. Fear of the car is not an unusual problem. You may want to try this - sit with your dog in the car without starting the engine. Your dog will soon realize it is ok. Keep doing this until he is obviously relaxed. Once you are by that hurtle,
start the engine but do not move the car. When your canine friend is ok with this you can begin taking short trips, maybe just around the block. It just takes a little patients and perseverance on your part.
