Missfifi sorry to hear about Daisy being so nervous - my Honey (racing name True Sally) is also of the nervous disposition and she has the same Dad as your Daisy (Droopy Scholes) so wonder if it is something in the genes! Honey loves the car but went through a terrible spell were once she was in it she would not get out of it and even now when we go to the shops in the village we have to park in a certain place or she absolutely freezes and won't come out of the car - sometimes it is really hard work but I think of it like a person with autism or aspergers (sure that isn't spelt right) where they just cannot handle things that are not in their normal routine and it all becomes quite scary. Honey is a real home dog and that is where she feels safe and secure and going out in the big wide world can be a real trauma for her at times. Have you thought of trying one of the training classes? Honey loves it (although wary of the bouncier more boisterous dogs) but it is the only time she willingly comes to me to have her lead put on. Just to make you smile - Honey froze the other night as she was about to jump out of the car as she spotted the daffodils in the garden and had obviously never seen them before! Also the greyhound walks are good for building their confidence - Honey turns to walk in the other direction as soon as she sees a dog when we are out walking on our own but on the Sutton walks surrounding by the pack of greyhounds she is as happy as larry and does not bat an eyelid at any of the other dogs in the park. I'll be watching your progress with fingers crossed that things improve for you both but (like Honey) I am sure she is happy in her own little world being spoilt by Mom!! xx

Poor Daisy, sorry to hear she is so nervous. My sister's dog is very nervous too. One of the best places we have taken him is Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens. It is so quiet and peaceful. Dogs have to be kept on leads, which is great as you don't have to worry about any other dogs running up. Might be worth a visit if it isn't too far for you to go. xxx

Maybe it was fate that returned Finch at this time. She couldn't get any more love, care & attention than she will with Ruth. Quality time indeed. Love to all invloved xx

Daisy (Dee)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Daisy has been with me for 5 months now. How fabulous! But Daisy is so scared of everything and everyone but me and her home and her garden. We go to lots of places together but she does not want to get out of the car - whether it is quiet or noisy, whether she can see people or not. Her thundershirt helps but there is no real ongoing improvement.we went back to kenilworth castle and she would not get out of the car. So I was wondering if some homeopathic treatment would help and would love to hear if anyone has any ideas. All my other greys were not so nervous as her......she is loved in just the same way and if Daisy lives out her retirement in the house and garden and car thats fine but I just want to do the best for her. Any suggestions most welcome...
