Husky Pup fear of bridges


Gerry

Recommended Posts

My 8 mo. old female Siberian Husky has suddenly developed a fear of wooden foot bridges. Our favourite walking routes the last 6 months have been on paths that take us over 2 wooden footbridges. She never had a concern with them until 2 weeks ago. She freezes when we approach the general area and digs in and backs up refusing to budge. I have tried to motivate her  with treats but she will have no part of it.  I am afraid she will back out of her collar and get loose. I have stopped trying now as every new occasion strengthens her fear.  

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

No,  but I really hope someone can help you and your pup.   Can you think of anything that might have happened on or near one of the bridges?   It could have been something as small as catching her nail in one of the planks,  or a dog or something that spooked her either on  - or over the bridge.
