Staying on the Lorry!!

Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed 300 lessons completed 350 lessons completed 400 lessons completed

Hi everyone, need your valued opinions & ideas!!
I decided to have a play with Winter today loading onto the lorry, it's been a while since she's been in it. Anyway we got over her hesitation to walk up the ramp, no real issue but liked to take her time. The problem I've always had is that when she goes in and you turn her to bring in the partition (my lorry is herringbone) she rushes straight out again, so this is a 2 person & 3/4 attempts job. She's happy to go in and have a nosey at everything that's stored and once the partition is in place and your on the way she travels beautifully. I do try and make journeys as smooth as possible

Do any of you have any tips or ideas how I can stop this rushing out, I'm not sure how much is panic but like I said she's happy until you turn her to travel!! Once at a show she stands and munchies happily on her net.
