Good Morning ,Hoping I can get some advice.My BC is now 9years old now and roughly 4 years ago she stopped going out with anybody in my family (Wife and Kids) and would only go out with myself .This was fine as she was still getting exercise and able to go to the toilet.Now over the past couple of days she has stopped going out with me ,she will go out the front door but just lies down .she looks scared ,although as I’m out with her all the time can remember nothing that has occurred that would scare her.In the house she is lively and when out the back garden she is her normal self ,the issue is when we go out to the front.I even tried to pick Lola up ,put her in the car and drove to a piece of a walk I know she loves but she would not leave the car,tail between her legs looking very scared.My big issue at the moment is that she will not go to the toilet even in the back Garden.Thanking you all in advance .

Thanks for your advice,My wife comes with myself and Lola a lot of the time for walks but as I said if I drop back or am not present she will lie down and not move until I reappear.My sons don't spend to much time with her and never have(Lola is not keen on them although we have had her for 8 years she growls whenever they are about) My wife on the other hand gets on great with her ,she feeds her plays with her and even sleeps at my wifes side of the bed but still will not let her take her a walk. Regards Neil
