Topic Dog Boards / Behaviour / Pup Got Spooked
- By wingedmessenger [gb] Date 01.06.04 10:18 UTC
My 13wk old pup was sitting looking out of the window this morning.  She does that all the time without any problem.  Thing is something outside scared her really badly and now she wont go near the half of the room which the window is on.

There was no loud noise that I heard, cant think what else it might have been though.  We were sitting in a totally quiet room so I would have heard any noise.

Help?  What can I do?  We've been out for a walk and she was totally unwilling to go to the front of the house.

Could have been anything that spooked her - the world must be a pretty scary place for a 13 week old puppy!  I'd expect she's young enough to get over it although I don't have direct experience to base this on.  Why not try and make that end of the room more enticing just to encourage her to go over?  Perhaps plant some treats or toys down there but I wouldn't push her too much just yet.  Without knowing what scared her it's difficult to judge, could have been as simple as a bird flying past or landing on the windowsill that jolted her or a cat shooting accross the garden.  Be patient and just gently coax her and I'm sure she'll come around.  Good luck.

Since I posted this she has recovered from whatever it was that scared her.  Shes happy as larry now :)  Thanks for helping :)
