This hydraulic control device is provided with a switching valve. The switching valve switches between a non-reverse state in which, when a reverse range pressure (PR) is not supplied, an engagement pressure (PSLG) from a first solenoid valve is supplied to a dog clutch and hydraulic pressure in an engagement element is drained, and a reverse state in which, when the reverse range pressure (PR) issupplied, the engagement pressure (PSLG), which is supplied from the first solenoid valve, is supplied to the engagement element, and a source pressure is supplied to the dog clutch. During forward travelling (step S1) and at least when a travel range is being switched to a reverse range (step S6), the hydraulic control device causes a second solenoid valve (step S8) to supply resisting pressure(Pb) to maintain the switching valve in the non-reverse state (step S9).
