Someone please help me with my lovely traumatized dog! =(?

Question

my miniture dachshund was traumatized one day when she went outside under our porch and got attacked by some other animal. she wasnt badly hurt, we obviously took her to the vet and after a few treatments she was physically fine, but now she HATES going outside. it only gets worse, especially now because we have a new larger puppy in the house, so she basically spends everyday hiding in her crate and holding her pee until she just cant and then having 'accidents' in the house. i've tried making her go outside and she just sits there crying until you let her go and she runs back in the house and hides! no one knows what to do! help!

Answer 1

You should gradually show her that there is nothing to be afraid of. Maybe set up a fenced in area to show her that there is nothing wrong. And little by little make that area bigger until she becomes more comfortable.

Answer 2

make a fenced in gravel area next to the house and when she needs to use the bathroom put her in there. She will eventually understand she is safe plus, her p**p and pee is easier to clean on the gravel if you ever have to pick it up
