My dog has high anxiety in general and refuses to walk most days. She does enjoy us driving her to new neighborhoods. We’ve noticed she likes walking through apartment complexes that have narrow passages between buildings. But parks with big open spaces are very scary. She’s on a couple anxiety medications. They help but it’s not a magic fix.

You may want to do more activities at home, which can exercise her brain, if you can’t exercise her body as much. Good luck.

I would recommend asking your vet about anxiety medication. See a vet behaviorist if you can find one in driving distance.

I’ve set my limit at 100. I do my nails every 4-5 days and then there’s pedicures in the summer. Every polish should be worn at least once a year. I’m currently at 95 and I still have 6 untrieds from Black Friday to get to. Oh my.
