As I mentioned in an earlier post, Gracie displayed an affinity for bluegrass music when we visited a farmers market recently. It was a surprise. I decided to try a little experiment.
Gracie continues to be anxious about riding in a car. I am trying to help her conquer her fear by placing her in the car a few nights a week and just sitting in the driveway. I give her treats and lots of affection.
Now, I have added bluegrass music to the mix. She seems to relax a little bit sooner than normal. Her tail even appeared to wag to the beat of one song. She really seems to enjoy the music – as long as we stay in the driveway.
It is tough dealing with doggie anxiety. I will continue to experiment until I find something that works. Feel free to share any tips you have.
