do any of your dogs have anxiety?? I'm thinking that maybee Ollie does. We took him to a friends for a cook out, this is the second time we've taken him to a friends house, he went thru exactly the same thing the last time as well. I cooled down the car packed up some things to take, and when the car was cool loaded the dog. As soon as he gets in the care he starts heavy breathing, panting, the car was cool so i know he wasn't hot. He did this the whole way except for the last five mins when he finally laid down in the passenger front floor. We got to the house let him do his business and there were prob 5 or 6 people inside plus their boxer, the dogs got introduced did fine but the whole time he's doing that panting heavy breathing thing. He walked around got some water made rounds to all the people but still doing the same thing. I took him outside for a few mins as there was shade and a cool breeze let him wander and sniff the yard, about 5-10mins i took him back in as he was still doing that got him to lay down but the whole time i was there he kept panting and breathing hard, we stayed long enough to eat and then I left, b/c he wouldn't stop and I was getting worried. We usually leave him home but our friends want us to watch their dog for a night so they wanted to see how they got along. Anyway the whole car ride home he was still doing that same thing, we walked in the door, he got a drink layed down and stopped!!! Do you think he could have anxiety or just overly excitied! He wasn't running jumping like he was way excitied but he wasn't wary like he was anxious. I'm just wondering if it could be a anxiety type thing? Poor guy had me worried!!
