Thank you, some encouraging stuff in there - we've been keeping walks small and functional and keeping her downstairs on the whole so good to hear it's along the right lines! The concept of "emptying the stress bucket" we've heard about seems to fit with our experience with the dog so far.
We're lucky in that the intense experiences with other dogs weren't aggressive, it was play, but now Daisy just wants to be near other dogs as much as possible. When we get to longer walks we'll be back to limiting exposure to others as much as possible.
She's just snuck back into her crate for a snooze!!

Pah, i thought you had real problems! Great to hear she's taking to the crate, i pulled the door of mine after 6 months and Nori still spends a lot of time in there by choice. They're denning animals after all.
