Woody is a bit OCD and afraid of everything. I know that's not too unusual in cockers but I think he is extreme. When he started refusing to go outside on his own I started taking him out, then he would just tremble and cower , it reached the point he actually bit me when I reached for his collar.
After having him checked for medical reasons, the vet suggested trying Ltheanine. This is a all natural extract from green tea leaves. After two weeks on this he is now going out on his own again! I think he is less anxious in general, although he still won't drink from watering bottle.
I don't think it was coincidence that he suddenly started going out after I started him on it. Anyone with anxiety problems should try this.
