My dog is fearful. For perhaps his first year it was a bit of a battle to get a leash on him and get him into the car.
I live in the country and have a long driveway. I would drive a little, then stop. He wanted to be with me --- I just made it plain that I was going, if he wanted to be with, he was going to have to get in. He'd trot along beside the car. When he got in, I didn't make a fuss, but I'd give him a treat.
"But he doesn't actually hop in the truck much, he steps front feet up and I put a back leg on the running board and he hops in. That came from me trying to force him into the truck, and then it just became a habit. He isn't fighting, he just thinks this is how we do it. In a way I like it because he doesn't do that pulling up with the front legs jump, but in a way I just wish he would get in by himself.
he does hop out on his own. He is just a little big for me to have to help him out. :-)"
This is my problem... And Keiko is a Bullmastiff so he is getting quite heavy to lift. He fails to get the "run and jump" part. however I don't want him to hurt himself being so large and such so I have not really tried to change it. (He will also follow the car if he is not tied or crated)
My suggestion is feed him in the car, let him sleep in the car make the biggest things happen in the car and don't worry to much, I think a lot of things get to be problems because we make them one... IMHO
