While my 4-year old GSD, Whitaker, loves my fiance (who moved in six months ago), I wish I could say my fiance feels the same. It didn't help matters any that last weekend our dog got into the garage from the back yard door and jumped into his convertible Jaguar!
When I found Whitaker, he was sitting in the passenger seat... happy as a clam and ready for a ride. Only his claws scratched the driver's side door and my fiance was soooo mad! It was really our fault for leaving the top down and the door unlatched.
So my question: How do I train Whitaker to NEVER jump in or on a car? His favorite thing in the world is to ride in cars (I have a Subaru that I use to take him out and about) and he'll jump in anyone's car if the door is open. I've tried having him sit before he is allowed in the Subaru, but that doesn't stop him from jumping in cars if he gets the chance.
