Did something happen to her that made her nervous? Did she get a paw or a tail caught in the door? What you could try, is standing on one sode of the door with a treat and coax her out, when she walks through, praise and praise some more. Will she let you pick her up and walk through the door? You can always walk through the door a few times using nice, comforting words while she is in your arms. And than let her walk through the door on her own. |

If something happened to her once at a doorway (she got hurt or pinched somehow), she will associate that pain with ANY door. (I just finished Temple Grandin's book, Talking in Pictures. Be sure to read the chapter on dogs.) Follow Aurora's advice and let us know what happens. |
