Ever since 4th of July daisy has been crying and barking alot, she dosnt seem to be in pain and its only when shes alone when I go outside with her she stops crying and is playful, running and jumping around. I've always dedicated time to play and walk them. What could be wrong?

It could have been the fireworks from the 4th really frightened Daisy, and going outside alone makes her anxious that the sounds will start again. I would put a Sentry calming collar on her to see if that helps.

That was me who answered your question! You said one of the things that Daisy does is bark a lot when outside alone, and as you can see from the package, it helps with excessive barking. The collar releases calming pheromones when in touch with her skin, which can help with her current behaviors, which can be stress related from anxiety. You can keep going outside with her if it makes her happy, but I imagine you don't want to do that all the time. Try the collar first to see if it helps.
