Does anyone know how to break a dog from gettin a little ill in the box. Hes fine on the ground but as soon as you load him up he will turn and growl a little.
its real hard to give any answer without some history on the dog.
i read it as he is growling at you or whoever loads him.
if so,i would guess someone got him doing that by being too rough (abusive) trying to make him load.(shocking him, getting on the tailgate and putting a foot in there and so on). its the only reason a dog would get growly when he loads. kinda like he is used to getting hurt around the loading process and had enough of being abused. if thats the case you will only make it worse by trying to "break" him of it.
IF IT IS for sure the only time and place he shows being ill i would just work around it and he should/may just stop on his own when he relizes you aint gonna put the hurts to him when he loads. if he shows it anywhere else he has a major malfunction in his brain. dont matter if its man made or bred in - you will not break, beat or shock the illness out of a dog no sooner then you will make a shy dog not shy by baby-ing it.but you can make one ill and or shy by mistreating them.
