Allowing Your Dogs Take a Ride In Your Vehicle Is Great, But What Happens When They Want Out?

November 16, 2010 | Author: GailLRamberg | Posted in Home Based Biz

For starters, you really should take your pets in the car with you aaaaaaaall the time. You may have suspected through my excitement that I’m in fact, a dog. I’m a 10 year old yellow Lab and I love a great drive in the car. Riding in the car or truck was initially all about me until my own boss dragged back home an evil, dreadful completely new puppy dog. She resulted in a large number of complications and one of them was exactly how for getting us both out of the vehicle at exactly the same time with out anyone breaking a limb. A plan and a little bit of training should make this event rather easy to deal with.

Before you decide to take two dogs in the car with you, come up with a master plan about the best way to get us both out from the car. When you do not have a strategy we are going to each bounce out just as soon as the car door is opened. This will be cause bedlam. We all understand that I ought to get to go out first, but the evil brand new puppy dog doesn’t seem to comprehend that. The problem is the fact that being able to cruise in the car is alot more enjoyable than just about everything, but getting out of your car is actually ten times better. We tend to just get way too fired up to listen and do everything that you tell us to. Having to deal with several dogs this excited most definitely makes this a much larger problem.

There are actually a couple of issues brought on by having a pair of dogs that both would like to get out from the vehicle first. 1) During the commotion, we might get free and roam to the next town (or even worse, into the highway). 2) We might stumble over each other and fall down on the cement (which I’m pretty sure will hurt. Although (cue the schoolmarm voice) I am quite sure we’re supposed to be in the dog crate or possibly a canine seatbelt when we’re in your vehicle. Shhhh, never tell our veterinarian about this because we get to be in the middle seats in our vehicle.

Using the head rest for the front seat is the very simple answer to this problem. After you open up the rear car / truck door in order to let us out, make sure you instantly step in front of your open car door to block our exit path. You have to stay as close to the vehicle as feasible and you need to close the door a bit if you can. You might really have to set your foot up in the area where your feet go inside of the vehicle. I was kind of shocked by the evil new pup and just how she has been able to squeeze thru any tiny opening that she saw so you need to be very attentive so that you can block the exit.

Here is the strategy:
*Open the car door and quickly block the exit.
*Hook both the dogs to their leashes. You shouldn’t use a double lead here, someone might get injured.
*Make a decision about who will get to move first. (I feel the old dog really should go first, but I could be partial.)
*Wrap the lead on the evil, I mean other dog all around the headrest for the front car seat.
*Hold the leash tight so they can not jump out.
*Tell the first dog to go - by name. “Baylor-go”
*As soon as the first dog is outside the car and away from the landing place, tell the other dog to “Stay” (for control)
*Unwrap the leash
*Tell them to go - by name. “Scout - go”

Yes, my name is actually Baylor and the evil other pup is Scout.

I must mention that this is not very easy to master, but just like every thing else it can be achieved with patience, repetition. I used to be concerned that the evil new dog was going to jump on me. Now it seems to be fairly non eventful. Getting two dogs is a good thing but you will discover things that can cause issues. Teaching the dogs to get out in a relatively organized manner will eliminate the worry and chances for injury.

Living together with dogs can be great. Living with a few dogs can be even better. when you recognize exactly how to overcome the issues you will certainly come across. TwoDogTownhouse will help you prepare for and eliminate all of the issues involved in having a 2nd dog
