There's been a fair bit of discussion on here about Hounds and Cars. Ben has never been very keen on getting into the car. I keep trying by saying "Coming in the Car Ben" and he just turns round and goes back to laying on the sofa. He seems more than happy just walking locally down a river valley or round the country lanes.

Yesterday I tried again by saying "Coming in the car Ben", to my astonishment when I opened the door he got in, climbed into the back and stood there giving me a strange look. I realised that his blankets were not in there so I got them and put them down in the back of the car. He layed down and off we went.

The only thing that I can think of when he got in so easily is that he is bored with all of his local walks and fancied something different. I took him into town and we had a walk along the canal and then through the town and back to the car. He had a great time with many people stopping to admire him and give him a fuss. I hope this behaviour continues.

Well done Ben Sounds like he had a nice day. I throw a treat into the car and Elsie jumps in to get it! Mind you I still have to pick her rear end up sometimes as she is half in and half out of the car munching She was not used to car travel when I first had her, but is great now. ( Could be the double duvet the girls have in the whole of the back of the car too.... very comfy!)

See, perseverance is the key. Well done Ben. Also because you didn't stress over it, it took the fear of the car away from him!

The world is his oyster now, just think of all the nice places you two can go!!!
