Changing your relationship with your dog is the first step. You must be in control of the direction of your walks - you go first and the dog walks behind. After he gets the idea on a leash, it’s time to try him in the car. I like to start off training the dog when the car is not moving in the driveway. So first you need to teach the dog to stay in the back seat behind you. Once the dog understands he is not allowed in the front seat, we need to teach him to lie down on the back seat. Sometimes getting a doggie seat belt and attaching him to a harness can be very helpful. After you have been able to keep the dog in a down stay position while driving in the empty parking lot or deserted street, its time to take him for a short ride. Now try driving to his favorite destination like the dog park. Once you get there, park the car and wait until he is quiet and calm before you let him out. You see, don’t reward him for being crazy and whining. Only let him out when he is in a calm state of mind.
