Need some training advice. Journey has decided that she wants NO part of the car (SUV). I can't get her in. I bought a ramp which the other two use without problem. I tried to be so patient today, spent 30 minutes trying to ease her up the ramp with home baked liver. No go. Then I moved it from the back to the side door and that was another 20 minutes. She slipped her collar twice. I got in the car and tried to coax her in that way. She put on the brakes.
Then while I was trying to get Journey in, Star jumped out! :shocker: But Star reloaded and went back in.
Finally, my husband got in the back seat and encouraged her while I lifted her butt and pushed her in. :grrr: But this was definitely a last resort.
This is completely no good, especially when I'm alone. I want her to look forward to going 'bye bye' like the others. She has always been a little hesitant with this car, but today was pure h--l. :cussing2: I will say she had no problems with the car when I had a Sable wagon. She hates the SUV, but it's the only car we have now so we have to work this out. I'd go back to square one and start from the beginning but I'm not sure I know where square one is anymore.
