I have noticed a change in Bijoux since we have moved out, she has become skittish. We used to live in a quiet area, now there is traffic, she is afraid of the cars to the point where she is darting around on her leash and if I keep her beside me to try and have her just cope with the noise she is still freaked and shaking. People, she now runs from, car rides all of a sudden she is showing classic anxiety panting and shaking, these are all new behaviours. I don't understand where I went wrong we did puppy socialization classes I took her everywhere and had her meet everyone. She was fine, a bit timid but with constant exposer was dealing with new things very well.
The only thing I can think of is that not having Lincoln in her life has made her face these things alone and I am just not enough support for her. I walk her everyday to try and get her use to the noise of cars but I have seen 0 change, I always take her to the pet store because the staff there know that i am working with her, they are great but again no change.
We have been here a month now, I would have liked to see a bit of her confidence coming back by now, just a small sign that I am helping her deal with these new fears correctly but I don't think I am. I looked into puppy classes but I can't get there as it is out of town with no public transit, and I am afraid taking her to the dog park will result in fear aggression or even worse anxiety.
I just feel like she isn't living to the fullest I want to help her become confident. Advice?
ps it's not medical she just had her post
spay exam and blood panel drawn
