Whats the best way yall found to make a dog load up? He knows what it means he goes right to the box, truck ect and all he will do is put his front paws up on it and wait for me to lift him in lol ive tried alot of stuff even bribed him with food to jump in. Tips? He's just too stubborn

Make it uncomfortable for you to have to load him. I grab collar and tail and sling them up into their spot if they can load but don't want to. They'll get tired of being lifted by their tail an load on their own.

works for me as well, or grab em by the skin above their tail and by the collar and toss em in, they don't care much for that either

   I've never minded helping a good dog into the back of the truck  . lol   but usually I will just hook them up to the bumper with a chain and place their feed and water up in the bed of the truck . they will start to load up to eat and drink . I do this with all my young dogs .  but I don't have to worry about them scratching up the paint on my old ford  .

Halfbreed, good point. I have heard of guys that feed their  dogs in the beds of their trucks/utv's from an early age, they say that it makes it much easier to teach them to load down the line......makes pretty good sense to me

Good advice, although I've got a stubborn bulldog that does the same thing. Tried some of all that he would just rather not eat, get throwed, or run before he makes the leap to the tailgate. He ain't to big 65lbs, so I guess when stops catching he will load or be left behind and watch his replacement bask in the glory.

I do this as well, but, there is the occasional stubborn inbred yeller dog with a wicked sence of humor who knows how to load, they just don't like being told to. Lol

All my young dogs have houses that they can jump on. I feed them up there & give them alot of attention. when they are 6 or 7 months old, I start feeding them on the tailgate. A couple of days of that saying load up & they have it down. No stress.

I had one I couldn't even catch much less load up so I started running her till she couldn't wait to load up when I was ready to leave. 2 or 3 miles at a high lope and she'd be trying to jump over the side of the truck.

Its hard to practice with him in the yard cuz when he gets out he runs as fast as he can to the truck, does his paw thing on the tailgate and if I aint there in a few minutes hes taking to the woods and wont be back until the next morning

I back it up to a hill or throw some sturdy (wont wiggle) boxes half the size under the tailgate to make a step type deal. Put him on leash and get in the back of the truck with his food bowl at suppertime and call him up to you. If he makes it feed em half and do it again. Try to make it as easy as possible once they do it once or twice on their own make it a little harder. Just don’t get mad at him but if he isn’t trying pack em him up with no kibble and try again tomorrow.

I have a 13 pound three legged jagd terrier that loads herself in the back of the truck… there is no excuse.
