My dog knows how to jump into the truck, he's done it before, but he slipped off the tailgate the other night - he jumped into the bed 3 times then the 4th time he didn't push himself up right, didn't injure himself or anything, but now he doesn't wanna jump up even into the cab. The only way to get him into the cab is to have someone open the door on the other side n get him to wanna go to them.
No he will never ride in the truck bed - its just one of those things I feel my dog should be able to jump into, and he can.
Does anyone have any techniques or advice on getting him to do what he has already done before but is reluctant to do again? I'm getting really frustrated standing in 95 degree weather goin "Cujo Jump, Cujo Jump, Cujo $&^!#$%$& JUMP ALREADY!!!!" and I know being annoyed at your dog isn't good for training.
I would take him to a playground or somewhere "fun" that has nothing to do with jumping in the truck. Bait him with food and climb up/jump on some of the playground equipment.
You want to recondition his brain to equate jumping with something good - treats.
Dennis - what was wrong with your guy?? Good point about him being hurt but wouldn't he be most likely limping?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

He didn't want to go over the A frame again and I used the "Get your furry butt over or I'm going to throw you over" command. I learned somewhere (this forum?) that many animals will not display and hide injuries to prevent predation or loss of rank. He went over and yelped and limped away and I felt like a shitheel. Vet said he was ok, nothing broke or cracked but it was slow to heal and I don't work much anymore.
I am generally not a huge fan of the white GSD's... I haven't seen many examples of nice ones... but wow, thats definately an exception - thats a beautiful dog.
