My dog certainly loved car rides...until he heard the word “vet”. He became a different animal and wanted nothing to do with it. Obviously we learned to not say it.
My female is a homebody and doesn’t want to go anywhere ever. When I put the harness on the male he immediately runs to the gate and will stand there and wait all day.
Need to take him through the drive-thru (fast food) IMMEDIATLY after, and buy him a burger or something, ( I gave my dog a sausage and egg burrito off the dollar menu, and let him eat it in the car ) after he got shots and blood drawn, and we have no problems with the vet, because I associated good things, (human food) and the vet.
BTW compared to what you just spent at the vets, one dollar is NOTHING. Honestly one of the best dollars I spent on him. Hope this helps!
Humans have newspapers and magazines(tv internet radio) to figure out whats going on. Dogs(canids) have smell as the magazine.
Driving a dog around is like a 5mb/sec download.
I don’t think dogs can understand language...if you take your dog to the park, he or she will jump in the car every time you open the door...if you take your dog to the vet (and never to the park) the dog will not like going in the car.
