Train my pup to jump into a car?

[Deuce]

Deuce gets car sick so he's not crazy about getting in, either. I have to pick him up and put him in and then he lays down on the back seat and sleeps...LOL.

Jordan sleeps cuddled up with me.

We use to have to left her hind legs up but we found that since she is so closely bonded with me and wants to be with me allllll the time that if hubby takes her to his side and lets me put my seat belt on and rearrange then I can open his door from the inside he tells her to stay and then I give the release command and get all excited.... she makes it in the truck (from about 4 feet back) about 90% of the time, straight to my lap. We praise loads and treat accordingly! We have a 2006 toyota tacoma so its a bit short.

There is hope just keep trying...your pup will get it eventually!

I sometimes wish my dogs didn't like getting in the car - they will FLY in if a door is open because they know they're going somewhere fun.

I've been told that a good way to make them feel more comfortable is to open both doors and bait with food, a ball, or whatever stimulates them the most. The open doors makes it seem not so scary, and the food/ball obviously gives them a positive association with being in the car.
