I'm so glad it has given you the encouragement for your daugther and really hope she gives it another go.
I know it will be your natural instinct to protect her, and of course I don't know what the very bad experience was, but we all have set backs in our lives whether or not we are able-bodied. Crickey if I stopped doing everything I'd have a bad experience at, I don't think there would be anything left for me to do -even walking the dogs would be out!
Good luck to your daughter. If she does give it another go, I'd love to hear how she gets on.
I'd also say that although I'm not really into showing, the show people on Dogsey are fab and I'm sure if you let them know when and which show she was going to, they'd rally round to support you both, if you needed it.
