Hi Sandra. You say your puppy is ok if you drive to obedience classes? What if you put her in the car, and drive around to the other side of the block, get out, and walk her home? Would that work with her? If so, then you could start getting out of the car closer to home each time. Walk a different direction each time, but always end at home. Eventually you could get out of car when still in sight of home, and walk away from it, and eventually just get in the car, don't drive anywhere, get out, and walk away? Not sure if she would go for that? Don't push too hard when it comes to fear, go slowly with changes, and don't comfort her when she shows fear. You have to ignore that behavior.
