Hello everyone.
I was wondering if any one else has had this problem with their dog?
There have been woodlice getting into my house for the past few weeks ( still trying to find out where they are getting in). They dont bother me but my dog is very scared of them. It started with him backing away from them and shaking his head as if there was something in his ear. He usually calms down after I put it outside.
Last night he saw one and did the usual backing away but after I removed the woodlouse he refused to come into the front room for about 2 hours. When he finally came back in he was constantly checking the floor and sofa for them and didnt want to lie down.
This morning he was still checking the floor for them and stayed in the hallway.
He has also recently become very scared of the sound of rustling paper and rain on leaves so much so that he doesn't like going outside in the rain.
I have asked the vet about it and he checked him over but didnt really have any ideas.
I have asked other dog owners I know but none of them have this problem.
A bit of a backstory.He is a 4 year old lab cross. I got him as a rescue 2 years ago.
When I first got him he was quite timid. The rescue centre thought he had been a stray. He didnt know how to use stairs, tried to walk on the sea as if it were solid, scared of louder noise. But he has done really well and is usually a very happy dog.
I was wondering if any one else has experienced this with their dog or might know why he is acting this way.
Thank you.
