I take Eli to the park before work almost every morning as soon as it is light enough. I park my car on the right side of the garage. Recently we got a new car. I opened the back of it to have Eli jump in and he refused! I had to pull him in it. The new car was parked on the left, my husbands side. This weekend I parked the new car on the right side and moved the other car to the left. He hopped into the new car just fine this weekend, I scratched my head but whatever. Fast foward to this morning. I parked my old car on the left, this is the car he gets in everyday, the suv, Eli's car we call it. I opened the back and he freaked and stood by the new car, which was parked on the right. I had to drag him over, shaking btw, to the suv on the left and make him jump in. Apparently he only wants to get in a car on the right side of the garage seriously...now how weird is that?!!!
Eli is a dog of pattern. He runs out for the ball before I throw it and doesn't turn around, if I am off on the throw or I throw it in another direction he will not change direction and invariably runs in the exact same direction for the next throw unless I have him turn and watch me throw it. He starts bugging me to take him the park at exactly 6:15 every morning, exactly. Anyone else have a dog that is so rigid in patterning. When we work on tricks I try to change the order so he has to "listen".
Weird, weird dog.
