HI, I live in the countryside and have a confident 4yrold dacshund and a nervous 10yrold labrador. He has always been nervous (of male dogs, bangs, thunder), but has been fine in this area (lived here 3yrs) where we walk out straight into a private field, no other dogs.
Recently he has been refusing to go for a walk, he is to terrified to go out the front door, he cries, drools, and runs away. I can't see any change (except the seasons) and my other one is fine.
When I can persuade him to come he is fine too, but he usually won't, he is not off his food or anything. Problem is he will only do his business on the walks, not in the garden, I am afraid he will bust something.
The vet won't help and I can't get a dog shrink. Please help because he is my lovely, gorgeous, stubborn old weirdo!
thanks
