Same happened to my dog in a hotel patio. She wouldn’t trust that the door was open probably due to a past event (older rescue). After a few days she trusted me when I called her through and finally believed the door was open. Then of course she saw a bird went to run through and this time it was fucking shut.
Never voluntarily went through glass doors again. Can’t blame her. Rest in peace Lucy you were a gem of a dog.
(Dog people have that one dog they seem to click with and she was mine. I’ve been the guardian of many dogs. She was a gross old pug filled with cancer and heart worms and love.)
- bradknowles 3y agoI had a similar problem with my dog, when I was a kid. From that day forward, whenever I opened the door to let her in or out, I had to prove to her that the door was really open, usually by putting my arm through the space, or whatever. She was the best dog, ever. Despite her -- not irrational -- fear of glass and screen doors.
- jamiek88 3y agoYeah exactly! It as so annoying because I fully respected her decision too, I’d be skeptical in her shoes! We don’t deserve dogs but I’m glad we’ve got ‘em!
