Help Needed! Grumpy getting out of the car

[ldenne]

So Tiberius takes infrequent car rides - he loves getting into the car - I hook him up with his harness attachment to the seat belts and he goes back ans forth in the back seat no problems. When I go to take him out for he car he gets grumpy as in growling and nippy. Not sure why.
He was neutered last month and this has been an issue since before that.

Guessin' he likes to ride and not happy to get out!

^ Agree with above. Try taking him more often so its not as big a deal for him when he does go.

Ralph is the same getting in and out, he just doesn't like me picking him up.

I find it easier to take my dog in and out of car by lifting her by the loop on her harness. She's a Frenchie though, only 30 pounds.

Maude will stand and wait for me to lift her (or "assist her" to get in(all 54 lbs.!) I do hold her harness to help her down, as I don't want her jumping. She is obsessed with the car and if I can't take her,I have to hide the keys, and tell her I have to go to the Dr.-then she lets me get out the door! She is too wise!

[emoji23] they are too wise. I wish he were that light though [emoji23] is a strapping 80 pounds [emoji23] and dead weight when he wants to be.
I also can’t take my keys out until I’ve left the house or else he try’s to run out the door

I'm getting too old to carry these dogs- I think next time I get a dog it'll be the closest thing to a bulldog- a pug.

Our Banks hated the car, but she also did not like being picked up... she’d kind of grumble when we did.... so treats were used to lure her out.

I also bought a minivan, which they can all easily jump in and out of.
