My 6 year old Collie mix will not jump into the back of my Subaru Forester.  He runs, jumps and hikes fine.  He does not walk with a limp or appear to be in any kind of pain.  The car is new (I purchased it in March).  When I first got the car he hestitated jumping in, but he did get in. I thought it was because he was used to my old car.  I wonder if this could be a health problem or a behavior problem?

It might just be the new car, new smells, was it owned by anyone else besides you? It could have vicious smells of other dogs in it. It sounds funny but could be true. If he hikes and runs and jumps, not getting into a car should not be a health problem.
