We thought she was in a secondary fear period 5 or 6 weeks ago, she suddenly became bothered by motorbikes, tractors, trucks when she hadn't been before. It stretched into early November and she was really bothered by fireworks, but it seemed to have passed. A local events venue had a big firework display two nights ago and she wasn't fussed.

I knew you'd had issues with Bill not liking the car ad it's partly why I decided to post about Brie. It's odd because she's been okay until the last week or so. Yesterday's drive up to the moor took a few bribes of treats being chucked into the boot of the car but today it was a flat out refusal. No, she's not bothered about walking past other cars, just ours and only when the tailgate is open. We did try getting her in the car via the back door, onto the seat but she refused that also.

Funnily enough, my chap suggested similar. He wonders if I should go and sit in the car boot tomorrow with some tempting treats (basically with Brie that means a bag of cheese chunks) before he brings her out of the back gate. Unfortunately our driveway is not gated so we can't just let her run to the car off-lead. We'll see how she reacts to me being in that space and just sitting... not actually drive anywhere, just be in the car. I suspect she'll still be weird about it.
We'll have to try to figure it out, I might ask the trainer for his thoughts on Tuesday. I don't like her being anxious but we also need to rule out anything physical as she's such a hefty girl. We always give her a leg up to get into the car and also make sure she doesn't leap straight out. Hopefully it will pass before she gets any bigger.
