We got our new lorry home today and decided to practice loading with Jerry to get him used it.

We got him on ok (lots of encouragement and a wee tap on the bum to get him moving in a straight line) but once he was on he got very stressed, started screaming for his friends and trying to push the partition away so he could get out.

Other than giving him a calmer, is there anything I can do to calm him down?

He almost managed to push my Dad down the ramp, he was that desperate to get out :( Obviously, this is just downright dangerous and we don't want it to happen again.
