[nagdu] stress and nervousness

[Sheila Leigland]

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe the school could give suggestions or better yet have someone observe her behavior. Sounds like she is a sensitive dog and needs a lot of support.

As Cheryl said, definitely contact your school...no questions.

All,

 

Wondering if you all can provide some advice or suggestions. As of lately
Emma has just been this ball of stress and nervousness. It started off when
we were at school, another service dog barked at her. Now she is so stressed
and nervous at school, her behavior is almost unbearable. She has the left
hand side tendency thing. She does not guide well, and when I go into that
particular office, she will literally pull me over to get out of that
office. But now it really does not matter what or where we are going. She is
always nervous, always stressed. I went on a women's retreat this last
weekend, and now I wish I had not taken her. She will not eat her food. I
have to beg her to eat, because if I didn't beg or coax her some how to eat,
she never would eat. She already needs to put on some weight. We are seeming
to have more bad days than good days. I honestly do not know what to do. She
wants to work, as she is excited t go into the harness, but it's the rest
that is driving me up the wall. I am not stressed, I am not nervous. 

 

Ok guys, give me some good suggestions and advice here. 

 

Marsha and Emma
