Haha! That sounds about right. Ru refuses to jump into the car, we have to lift him  |

Then when they get big enough to jump up on their own, they have to be TAUGHT to do so. Habit. A few weeks ago I instinctively bent down to hoist a friend's rescue OES into the car thinking she was refusing because she's dysplastic when my friend pointed out that she jumps that high in agility and rally (she jumps at the lowest jump height possible, though), dysplastic or not, so she can jump into the car, thank you very much. She was right. Heather, clearly he hasn't found his motivation for the latter. Throw a steak into the car and get out of his way  kristine  |

because we  our sheepdogs. |
| Hilarious. |
| They can be so norty!! I spent ages last year helping my obedience instructor (Julie) teach a boxer who was staying with her to jump in the back of her wagon (not high). The boxer will jump agility jumps and she and Tiggy are monsters together, inciting riots and chasing and jumping if they are off lead together, so its not that she cant, its just that she wouldnt. In the end I started playing with her then ran to the back of the car and instead of stopping the game she jumped in. Tiggy got really jealous so she jumped in to join the party and the pair of them spent the next 15 mins jumping in and out of the back of the wagon. The boxer was fed in the back of the wagon for 2 weeks while with Julie and was quite happy to jump in and out in the end. She went home to her owners and................refuses to jump into the back of their car, she makes them lift her.  |

Or my back does. I took care of one OES who became absolute deadweight when faced with a bath. Flattened like a bath rug so you couldn't get a grip on her and just layed limp. Unbelievable.  kristine |
| they are silly creatures for sure....Murphy stands with his head hung low and absoutly refuses to jump into either the car or the truck.. But he has no problem jumping up onto the bed which is higher than both. |
| Hahahaha! Funny! I've never met a sheepie who didn't wanna be driving, never mind worried about the merest possibility of being left behind! I think that many times on this board we have given the advice that if your dog escapes or is playing keep-away-from-master that running away and opening a car door is nearly a sure-fire way of retrieving your fur kid! |

This is my tried and true method as well. My dogs love the car - nobody has any problem jumping in. They love to jump in the back of a pickup truck too - although they're only allowed to ride in the driveway back there. My driveway runs to the backside of my house to the detached garage so my car is parked inside our gate. I had roofers here a week ago who needed to go in and out of the yard while they were cleaning up, and the dogs didn't want to come inside. I opened the car door and those goobers jumped in and stayed there perfectly happy for three hours. It was cool out so they just napped. |
