When I take Buddy riding and I have to get out of the car, buddy goes wild with barking and trying to get out with me. Upon getting out I think he is going to bite me and I have to shut the car door very quickly.
Also, if anybody comes near the car with me or without me in the car he yips, yips, as if he dares anyone to come any closer. I'm afraid he will have and heart attack from distress that is if thats possible for a dog. I love to take him riding with me but what can I do to ease his anxiety..

M
y dog gives a warning bark when someone approaches the car too. He's just protecting the family property.
Teaching him to stay in the car until he's told to, is basic discipline. You will need to put in the time teaching him basic commands, like stay. There are also ways of demonstrating to him that you are the leader and must be obeyed.eg you eat first, you go through doorways and gates first. There are many good books about training dogs at the library. Good luck.

You may need the help of another person to teach him this is inappropriate behavior and it won't be tolerated. Someone can hold his leash and not let him get so excited when you get out. It sounds like he is in desperate need of obedience training. Good luck . Peace
