Perfect! How's your lab doing?

He is doing OK but he still has a running away problem.
We have an appointment with a therapist tuesday.
(free from Lab Rescue of Florida but I am going to give them a
donation)

Please let us know what he (she) says. My pointer bolted half a dozen times, but
appears to be getting better about it. She doesn't go screaming out the front
door if it's left open a bit too long. And, she doesn't bolt out of the front
seat, over my lap, when I open the car door.

Ask that therapist for any quick recommendations on helping a dog overcome fear
of automobiles (*not* motion sickness - fear). This stuff - Cerenia -

the vomiting. But it doesn't get rid of the fear. And, it's not for use on a
long trip of several days or more. And, it ain't cheap!
