So, just recently my dog was in the backyard when there were some very loud noises in the front of the house that scared him. He curled up in a ball and I had to carry him inside he was so scared. He is a very smart dog and doesn't tend to forget, and now he will not go in the backyard unless I am out there and he is still very timid.
I usually open the door for him and let him out to do his business in the mornings and other times when I don't have time to be with him while he gets some fresh air.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to convince him that the backyard is a good place to be so he will go exploring and use the bathroom out there on a normal basis again?
Thanks so much for any suggestions and help anyone can give!
