You need to go to those people and slap some sense into them @Southern by choice. Or if you prefer a non violent method, tie them up, stuff them in your vehicle and bring them to your house to see how LGDs SHOULD be raised.

I like our vet because if you need something done and don't want to go in he will come out to the truck.

So you just stick your head in the window Maisy is facing, talk to her, and the vet goes in with the needle through the other side, she never knows what hit her Hope he doesn't charge extra for a "truck call". Actually assuming he doesn't need her up on a table (how "fun" would THAT be???), it saves them from having to clean a room! He should charge you LESS for a "truck call".

Our Vet does truck calls for our animals almost every time we have an appointment. Our dogs don't get out much, since they spend 24/7 with their goats (they DO get lots of people time, though - our Deo is a great big "love sponge" ) Anyway, when we go to the Vet, they don't want to get out of the truck.

I just back the truck up, in front of the door, we open the back window (above the tailgate) and open the side windows (with a piano hinge across the entire length of the bed cap),

and he examines and/or gives shots through the windows. They are friendly and well behaved with him & His staff. They just don't want to get out of the back of the truck.

Too much effort, especially jumping back in

 

[Mike CHS]

Maisy won't fight to get away from the vet or his tech as long as I have control of her head. She is like DVs dogs though and does not want to get out in a strange place. She is more biddable now that we have Thor getting in and out of the vehicle.

Can't be shown up by the little guy!

 

[Mike CHS]

He won't be the little guy much longer.

I did find out yesterday that I have to watch how I get on to the pup. I put some feed out to call the sheep back in for the night and Thor started pigging out so I got on to him and made him leave it alone. The next thing I know Maisy has him on his back and is just laying into him. She doesn't use her teeth but she looks and sounds vicious. It's almost like Maisy felt like she had to also get on to the pup and reinforce it.

I only had to tell her NO once when we first got her about eating the feed and she has never done it since. These are amazing dogs.

He probably understands what she is saying better than he understands what you are saying.

She is the translator!

 

[Baymule]

Mine are easy to transport. Paris does get a little anxious, but she will load and unload. When Trip was a puppy, I took him to Tractor Supply for treats. My super training method worked!

She is the translator!

I visualized the "picture" with closed captioning turned on.
Maisy: Little dude, we have a good thing going here. Plenty to eat, a cushy job, nice people to pet us. Don't screw it up pissing off Farmer Mike by eating the sheeps' food. GOT IT???
Thor: Yes'm
