When my last dog was a pup, I used cheese to get his pills down. He loved cheese.
So to make him climb up the steps, I put a small piece of cheese on each step.
Then I put some in front of him so he could smell it, then threw it on the tail gate.
After 2 or 3 times, I never had to use it again.
He loved riding in the back of the truck. Everytime I had the tailgate down, he was
in the bed.
Every time you put the tail gate down, say "load up" and every time you want him
to get in the boat, say "load up". It will come in handy one day.

Every time you let him out, make him sit, heel, then let him go do his duties.
You have to keep the obedience in him or it will come back to haunt you.

I trained 2 females myself, then I got a male and had a lot of trouble with him.
I sent him to David U. in Kinder, that guy has a lot of patience. He does a good
job with stubborn dogs. But he never lets the dog do what the dog wants. He
is the one who trained me to train the dog by making him do the stuff he don't
want to do before letting him do what he wants to do. If he don't do what you
want him to do, he goes back in the kennel.
