Which step uses a treat to lure the dog into an appropriate space inside the car?

• A. Open door and dog should still continue to wait
• B. Attach flat collar to tie down
• C. Use inside command lure in with treat
• D. Command wait, close door

Answer: (C)

Using a treat as a lure to guide the dog into the inside space of the car shows the technique of guiding behavior with positive reinforcement. By presenting the treat as a target and slowly moving it into the designated area, the dog follows the lure and enters the correct space (seat or crate). When the dog is in position, you reward and reinforce the behavior, helping the dog associate entering the car with a pleasant outcome and ensuring a calm, orderly loading routine. This approach directly accomplishes the goal of getting the dog into the proper interior space before any further steps, rather than just waiting at the door, securing a collar before entering, or closing the door while the dog remains outside.
