Zorro and I went for an energetic 2-mile run this morning. A huge change from his recent fearful behavior. His tail was high, he romped and sniffed, and when we got home, he didn't retreat to the bathtub. Just last night, he was still afraid to leave the yard. I have no idea what changed, but was thrilled to see it.
There were two schools of thought about his agorophobia. One: he's a rescue dog, and rescue dogs have Issues. Perhaps his former owners kept him confined, making him fearful of open spaces. Two: he's a border collie, and borders collies have Issues. They also have long memories, and if something spooks them, it takes them a long time to get over it.
First trip to the vet today so it will be interesting to hear what she says.
