How do you teach a dog to behave in the car?
Training the dog to get into the car
Before you leave the
house, make sure that the car door is closed but without using the safety lock
to make it easier for you to open it.
Leave the house with the
dog with you and when you approach the car, suddenly turn back home.
You can sometimes change
the door you use to get the dog into the car and use the rear or side door.
Give the dog a command
to follow you, hit your left side with a light blow, and walk away from you and
the dog.
Repeat these three or
four times or until you feel the dog is calming down.
Keep doing this exercise a few times over the course of a week until you
see you have it under control.
If possible, try to park your car next to a fence or pole where you can
attach the leash if necessary, and this will also allow the dog to stay close
to the car. without being able to climb up to it.
If the chain tightens around the dog's neck when it tries to move away from
the pole, give it a command to sit.
After about a minute,
praise the dog if it responds and sit quietly, but ignore it if it returns to a
state of agitation again.
Do not remove the chain from its place unless the dog calms down. With this
training repeated several times and over several days, the dog will realize
that he will not be able to get into the car if he rushes to it or pulls his
owner to it.
Do not allow the dog to get into the car until he sits outside the car
first and then you give him an order to get into it.
Sometimes you have to order the dog to get out of the car after getting
into it several times so that he can never anticipate the routine that you deal
with him.
Over time the dog will become calm and learn the following sequence of
commands and behaviors:
- "Sit" with the chain around his neck.
- After that, walk
to the front door, but you must go alone first.
- Then you give the command "follow me" to the dog to walk to the
car without pulling you.
- Then the command to "sit" is issued to him to sit next to the
car door.
- Then you open the door and issue the command "Enter" to get
into the car.
Get the dog out of the car
If your dog is a very irritable type, which is
difficult to control, especially if it is a large strong dog, you can tie the
leash to a handle or fix it to something inside the car to make sure that when
you open the car door the dog will not jump out.
Give the dog a command to sit and then wait a
little while leaving the car door open, then gently remove the chain from the
handle attached to it.
When you are ready, tell the dog to get out of the
car. When the dog gets out of the car, give him an order to sit. As soon as the
dog touches the ground with his front feet, shorten the length of the chain
immediately to control the dog by pulling it up without making it narrow on his
neck.
Use sitting training techniques to make the dog
sit. Also use training methods to follow you in walking, make the dog stand
next to your left side and then tell him to sit again. When you feel ready,
start walking to the garden or the new training ground.
It is best not to remove the dog's chain once
entering a quiet place such as the garden or any other place.
But I walk with the dog about a hundred meters and
then give the dog an order to sit and wait a minute and then release the dog to
play freely.
Most people who have difficult dogs tend to let
them run away immediately because of their misbehavior, but this teaches the
dog that he can run when he wants and not when you tell him.
Walking with the dog in the presence of the stroller
Once the dog learns to walk without being drawn to another place, you may
want to take him on a walk with your child.
This is great for everyone, and it also builds a good relationship between
the child and the dog.
The first rule is to walk with the dog on your left. It will help you at
first to push an empty baby stroller into the road for hundreds of meters so
that the dog gets used to the noise and the appearance of this strange thing
for him.
Give the dog a command to follow you as usual. Watch the dog's reactions
well and encourage him from time to time with words of praise and offering
small pieces of food if you see that he is a little afraid of the stroller.
Most dogs adapt quickly to the presence of a stroller. Do not put the child
in the cart and take him for a walk, unless the dog is walking well next to the
cart without any problems.
Never wrap the chain on your hands or on the leash of the stroller, because
if the dog panics for any reason, the consequences can be bad.
Push the stroller with your right hand and hold the leash in your left
hand, when walking with the dog in this case.
Dogs quickly adapt to watching you move in the stroller and change their
walking speed to match your speed.

You may want to take
your dog with you on trips, to the beach, for a walk or other places, and this
helpful list of suggestions will make your car journey with your dog as safe,
