Spooky Room

Amy noticed something odd about our dog and after extensive testing it appears to be true. She is terrified of a room in our house. The room in question is our ex-computer room, now a piano room. The room in question has a piano and a guitar in it, nothing else. In fact most of the rooms in the bottom floor are barren. This room used to have our computer desk in it and the whole family spent most of our time in there before we tiled the bottom floor. It is not like we have not spent a ton of time in there together, so why the fear ?

For the test we throw her toy rope in the room and she will rarely go in there to retrieve it. In fact if we throw it close to the far wall she will actually walk around the room to the other door and quickly slip in to retrieve it. I even noticed tonight she will stare at the toy for quite a while and try to figure a way to retrieve it that does not involve crossing the room. It is a total mystery to me now what is so spooky about the room ?

You say you tiled that room? Maybe she doesn't like to walk on the slippery tile. Do you have tile in other parts of the house that she walks on? Some dogs are afraid to walk on slippery floors.

It might be a tumor.

Wasn't that where she was usually crated at first?

Nah she was crated in the dining room. It is weird she is "ok" if someone is in there with her but she will do what ever she can to avoid walking through there alone....

Amy, she did spend some time in that room in the kennel. But on the other hand, everyone used to play with her in that room too.

She feels something in that room. Could be anything.
