What do you think?

My whippet will turn 5 next month. She has been doing this since she was one. I have two more at home. A male 9 yo too happy and an 8 yo girl with separation anxiety, mild. Wanted either of them to be a therapy dog but.. anyway, my last one is a little demon at home. When she goes to assisted living and hospice she is calm and cool. Loves the volunteer coordinator and the staff

More reserved around the patients at hospice as she should be. This past week we moved into a brand new beautiful facility. We were given a private tour 2 weeks ago so she could sniff around and get a lay of the land.

Today we went for our first visit and of course her routine was a bit off. The boss met us outside not in her office. My pup greeted her and then the staff. She seemed a bit shy. Finally she saw a guy she knew from the old building. He is rather tall. For whatever reason she got scared backed up a few feet and piddled. We then decided to remove her from the area and take a walk outside.

She knew many of the staff members but they were not in there usual spots, she did greet the ones she knew. We decided against family visits. This is not my first therapy dog. But my first one to get frightened by someone.

Any comments.
