How do I train my dog not to get in my pickup w/canopy?
We just got an 11 month old Leonberger to join our other Leonberger's but the new one is scared to get in the back of my truck. It has a canopy on it and I think it may be because of the long flight/crating he had in flying over to us about 1 month ago.
My other Leos/Huskies have no problems hopping in. How do I train the new one to get over his fear and hop in the truck with the canopy on along with the other dogs? I've also tried buying a Dog Ramp to get in and out with so he doesn't have to jump in/out, but that seems to have no positive impact. I've also tried enticing him with yummy treats into the truck.
I am now just leaving the truck bed open with the ramp on it all day with some treats in the bed in hopes that he will find his own comfort with it over the coming days/weeks. Any solid advice would be appreciated!
First of all lucky you having Leonbergers they are just beautiful dogs.
This is difficult. One of my dogs hates the car but he tolerates it now and doesn't throw up anymore [LOL] I suggest taking him out and letting him see the other dogs jump in. Put him in (I know lifting him won't be easy but it's your only way of getting him in there).
Every time you put him in the truck soothe him with a gentle voice and praise him just for being in there. Stroke him, pat him, talk to him in a calm manner. Then take him for a short ride to a park or somewhere and let him have a run. Take him to various places where he just gets to associate riding in the truck with something pleasurable.
Occasionally leave him and the other dogs in the truck while you go somewhere out of sight. I am not advocating leaving them totally unattended. Especially in really hot weather. (I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.) All I'm suggesting is go somewhere they can't see you but you can see them and watch them for about five minutes (assuming the weather isn't too hot to do this) and let him get to know nothing is going to happen to him.
He may never be truly comfortable but he will get the sense that the other dogs aren't scared of the truck and will certainly improve.
Good luck.
