Guest greysmitten Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Specifically, the laminate. Could the weather (high winds and rain) be making her hyper sensitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Has she slipped or fallen on it? Sometimes just losing their footing can make them afraid.

Guest greysmitten Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We did just get a different dining table that is larger than the last, so it covers most of the area rug in the dining room. Maybe it's not enough for her anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sounds you nailed it yourself! And for what it's worth, no, I don't think the weather outside would cause a dog to be afraid of the floor inside! Maybe you can put down a runner rug for her?

OwnedBySummer Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think it's the new table, too. Being both new (different) and taking up all her rug. Or, when you were out, she did indeed slip. Possibly even beside the table. It doesn't take much to make those slippery or shiny floors very, very scary. Quote Lisa B.

Guest Tigonie Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Make sure to trim her nails back, too. Even a couple of fast growing nails can make it harder for a dog to get a solid grip with their pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a couple of fast growing nails can make it harder for a dog to get a solid grip with their pads. Bingo! Although I think a lot of factors contributed to her sudden fear (it was wet outdoors, we got a new table, she probably wiped out) ... but, I got her nails trimmed and it all immediately disappeared. What a "duh" moment. I swear that having a dog is like being a parent and after a few years, you forget everything. Thanks, y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
