When that didn't work (think Scottie and Max&Teddy could have a competition for vocal ranges ), I would talk to him during car rides, with him in the soft carrier, and tell him everything was okay and also to "put your head down". The second he lied down, I'd throw a treat through a small opening of his bag. It took about two car rides for him to get it. You could give it a shot if you'd like  Though...I know the views are the most enjoyable part of car rides  |
Heartless, lol. Great job training Scottie! I would try your treat method, but I have found with Max that he nearly chokes himself trying to eat the treat while going back to barking.
Vocal ranges: I wish we could all get together and have the contest. Video doesn't capture the volume adequately. I've tried.
I tease M&T by saying I regret walking them so much, allowing them to develop their lung capacity.
