I have a nearly 5 yr old boy, he is such an anxious dog he is very nervous in the car and sometimes doesn't even want to go in the car he so nervous. It looks like he doesn't like
any noise when he is in the car and becomes frightened if there is a different noise. He is very anxious with people and doesn't like any strangers trying to pat him if we are out, if we are at home I just tell people to ignore him and he comes around to them after a while. He is very protective and I do have a sign at the gate not to enter, yesterday he just about bit the power man even though he was settled down and not growling or barking just sitting beside me when he entered but as he was coming through the gate he jumped up and thank goodness only bit the side of his shorts....... He barks alot at people walking past even if they are across the road, if there is any noise from anywhere he barks, he is starting to drive me crazy with the barking for nothing...... does anyone have any suggestions what to do with my anxious dog?
