Scared of the garden :S

My dog faith who is around 1 now, she used to go to the toilet in the garden quite happily, she'd even sit by the back door and be out in a shot when you opened it.

but now she keeps leaving puddles in the kitchen and whenever you let her outside she won't go, she runs and hids somewhere i go out with her but she shakes and tries to run back inside? it's like she's terrified of something in the garden.

Anyone else familaur with this?
Thank you

she might have had a bad experience without you knowing. don't just ask her to go there, play some games with her and even feed her outdoors for a little bit. she will soon come around.

my girl comes with me on the golf course and I usually tie the leash on a push trolley and ages ago she tried to say hi to a mate and pushed the trolley over so the sound of rattling clubs in the bag would reduce her to a shivering wreck. a couple of packs of ham fed while shaking the bag and she is fine now

Good advice. Make it fun for her - lots of games, food, treats. It might take a little while but she'll come round.

if only she could speak, she'd tell me just how crap she thinks I am or she'd ask why do we have to walk through the rough as much.

dogs were never allowed but when it came to rejoin I put it in writting to the manager as a condition and she is now part of the furniture. whenever I play at other clubs I always ask as like you said it gets two birds at once

It could be that something has given her a fright whilst she has been out there unknown to you. Just keep tempting her out and lots of praise when she does go outside.

Awww ok thank you she was better tonight i took her outside with some chicken and she went to the toilet and gave her the chicken and lots of praise i just want to know what scared her so much. poor girly.

Is it anything to do with the rain, Billy will hold it in for hours until it stops raining
