[quote=Anonymous]The prozac will help, but it takes time. I think if you establish a safe, quiet area, that helps. But it takes time. I wouldn't do the doggie daycare yet. My dog freaked out with a lot of other dogs around. First, let the dog get comfortable in the new house with the new owners. Give it a few months of predictable days (i.e. the dog will relax because there won't be a constant fear of being taken somewhere and over stimulated, which is kind of what hunting dogs are put through. The ones who don't make the cut are the ones who usually aren't good with a lot of noise and chaos.) Setters also tend to be people dogs as opposed to dog dogs, meaning the doggie daycare thing might actually set him back. He really just needs a few months/several months of a quiet environment. Then he'll start to relax a little. He'll probably never be a very outgoing dog, but he will get used to his people and probably really bond with one person. [/quote]
