My parents have a black lab x some sort of pit mutt who is absolutely lovely and well behaved despite her tremendous about of energy. Very obedient and calm for the most part until you signal to her that it's time for play and then she just explodes into sudden energy, and at the same time can immediately turn that off and calm down once you let her know playtime is over. Good on walks, with kids, other dogs, cats, everything but my parents often go on vacation and bring their two dogs and she gets pretty listless during them. She's fine in the car but it's obviously she just uncomfortable being away from home for more than a day. They vacation where I work so I spent time with her and walk her but I feel so bad about how bummed out she seems. She isn't aggressive or tries to get away, and though meekly she will still press her head against strangers for them to pet her but she doesn't even seem to appreciate the walks and just wants to go lay down with her bone. It isn't a loud place buzzing with people either, it's fairly quiet full of old people.
How can we fix this and make her feel more comfortable away from home? She loves new places but it's just after being away for more than a day does she get bummed out. Can it be fixed at all? She's about 5-6 years old now.
Pic sort of related as she makes this face 24/7 when she's like that.
