Curious to see if any others have this issue:
Worm seemingly does not like to get in and out of cars. or does not do so very efficiently.
I open the door and he just sits on the ground, looking around. but boy, when i throw a treat into the passenger seat, he sure can get up there quickly!
Similarly, when we get home, he just stays sitting in the passenger seat. (he does have a comfy pad there) but really! yesterday i had to work and after a long day, got him from daycare where he was very tired from playing a lot, when we got home, he just sat in the car and wouldn't get out. Took 5 minutes of waiting for him/coaxing and finally physically moving him. he's essentially flat-basseting in the car! does this every time we get home.
perhaps that's it, as he is eager to get out of the car when i drive to the store, etc. just not when we get home. he likes car rides and car adventures. which is also why it is surprising he doesn't like to get into cars when we are leaving.
I do find myself treating him to get in and out, but it surely is a bribe (ie. he is following the treat..)
Super silly Worm! never had a dog that didn't get in and out of cars quickly, eager for the next thing... instead, it's like... i think i'll have a nap....
would love to hear how your bassets handle cars.
