How do I stop my dog from jumping ON my car. Whenever my car is parked (either garage or backyard) my dog jumps on it- like on the hood and roof of it and will sit on it and bark at people as they pass by (and to see if I’m in my room). I wouldn’t mind it if he didn’t do it often or if he wasn’t taller than the fence when on the roof. How do I keep him off it?

He's a cutie! Put some cardboard on top of the hood and roof of the car. You can secure it with duct tape on the edges so it doesn't fall off, but so that it slides around. The unsteady feeling when he jumps up onto it will discourage him from continuing to do this. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
