Molly, my almost 2-year-old Pembroke, has all of a sudden become scared of just about everything. She's always been a little bit skittish, but about two weeks ago, out of nowhere, it started becoming worse. Molly is afraid of trash bags, trash cans (they vary in size, large kitchen can and small bathroom one), large blankets, pots and pans, you name it! Every time I go to pick up a book to read, she shies away from it and goes and hides. We also used to play a game, where I would stick my foot under our big floor rug in the living room, and she'd pounce and try to dig my foot out. However, I tried playing this with her the other day and she ran away from me. My husband and I have never, NEVER abused her in any way, shape or form. We've had her since she was 3 months old, so there is no previous owner to question. If anyone could offer me any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have tried speak to her in a calm voice and show her that these objects are harmless, but it's no use. It breaks my heart to see her so scared, and although she is generally a very happy and bright dog, this unwarranted fright is becoming an issue.
