| Frustrated, please help... Ok, so for most of you that know me and Foxy, you know Foxy's background, poor thing has had a traumatic life..Long story short, I cannot take this dog anywhere, my moms, the pet store, the vet, a car ride for that matter, without her totally freaking out as soon as the car stops..As soon as it stops she starts whining and barking frantically...I feel so bad for her. I took her to the pet store today for a new collar and raincoat, and the whole time in the store (me holding her) she is whining soooo loudly everyone is just staring at us, while I explain she has stress issues...Any ideas or thoughts? I am going to discuss this with her vet as well....:c onfused:

| That's sad that she is so anxious. I suppose she is scared? Mine cries when we're about to the place we're going, but she's crying because she is excited and she knows she's going to see this person or that person. I wish that was what was going on with yours, but I know it is not. I wonder if Rescue Remedy would help?

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Yes I have used Rescue Remedy. It has helped some. Wondering also about a Thunder Shirt for the car trips?

| Follow the info on the pets and not the info for people, since they have it all on the same page.

| Lucy hates the pet store too. I just don't take her in there anymore. Ringo enjoys it; she shakes the entire time. Usually they will let me bring a harness or something out to the car to try it on and make sure it fits.

| My Cricket would have anxiety when I took her somewhere when she was younger. A friend suggested taking tasting treats and giving her a nibble periodically while on the trip to the store. I started doing it. She started to like travelling in the car to the store after I did this once or twice. She made the association w the fun of getting a nibble of treat.

| Just wanted to add I know what you mean about a little one w vocal anxiety. Cricket could get very vocal on a trip. I asked the vet, and he said some dogs are more vocal about their feelings. She got much better w the treating on outings.

| Acepromazine (or maybe something along the Prozac line if it happens often) if all the above fails.. Training may work, but it could take awhile. It's ok to use something in the meantime. One of mine gets Ace before car rides now. We are both much happier this way.
