Manmade pools of water are scarier because they have a ledge and the dog can feel trapped. You should bring your dog into the pool with you and show him the steps to get out. He may feel more comfortable. Obedience training will help him behave in the bath, but he will probably never like it.

Sorry to say , this but i think your dog is ill and in pain , it quiet common for a dog to hide or look for a place to die , i am in the same position as you soon , but my one still struggling on it walks as much as need be , but struggles to get on my bed at night
11-13 yrs is a good age my mix gsd is 13 who was starting to get old a few years ago then we introduced a puppy into the home , then he sprang back into life ,
try giving you dog pills in cheese , or crush them up , and roll it into the cheese ,
dont be so drastic about putting your dog down atm , she may just have a stomach bug atm . Arthritis and h/d common in gsd and labs
i got a freind whose PURE gsd just walked out to his garden to die , he was shocked as he thought it had nothing wrong with it
i hope this helps , and good luck ,

ps dont put down just coz YOU think it suffering , lets the dog have its life

Did you take her to the vet when she was hit? Maybe there is still something wrong related to her getting hit.

It’s possible that it’s seasonal allergies. Do you ever recall having allergy symptoms this time last year? Is your runny nose clear or discolored? If it’s discolored, you have a cold or an infection and not likely caused by your dog.

If, however, you symptoms don’t clear up and you might be allergic to your dog. Figure out when your nose flares up. Does your dog sleep with you, and is that when you notice the symptoms? Is it after heavy play with her? Is it after you’ve combed her or bathed her or after she’s licked you?

If you are allergic, look into OTC allergy meds; they can help. Also, you’ve done a great job so far trying to neutralize the dander: vacuuming, the air purifier, etc. Increase her brushing to everyday if you don’t already do that, and make sure you brush her outside.

I have a lab/poodle mix. He’s a puppy right now, so I don’t know how his fur is going to look later on, but he currently makes my mother itchy. It’s controlled though, when I vacuum, every day or at least every other day, if I keep him out of rooms that she frequents (the living room is off-limits), and I also got a solution called Allerpet-D, which helps control the dander. My mother’s symptoms are considerably better; she hardly notices unless she comes in direct contact with him, but hey, that’s her fault for petting him.

I can’t tell you if the Allerpet is what’s helping or if it’s all the steps together, but there are ways to help an allergy sufferer. And my mother has pretty severe allergies.

Finally, I want to say you won’t have to keep your dog outside, but until you know for sure if it’s allergies and how severe they are it might have to be an option. I’d consult an allergy specialist, as well. They can tell you *for sure* and the severity of your allergies.

Good luck! And I hope it’s just a cold!
