My dog stares at one spot

This spot just happens to be where there was once a door. We moved the door a few years ago, before we got our dog. Why does he do this?

He thinks that would be a great place for a door? I have no answer. My mums dog used to stare at a corner of the ceiling in her dining room. She was convinced he could see ghosts.

Ghosts are still using the door?

My dog I had as a child did this for a while. Freaked my mother out. When they got their carpet relaid they discovered there was damp underneath in that spot. Got it sorted, new carpets laid and the dog never did it again. May not be what yours is doing though!

Maybe he lived in the house in another lifetime and has been reincarnated, but he can't figure out why the door he remembers isn't there anymore! Except he's a dog, so he can't articulate his question to anyone and feels frequently puzzled about it...

Maybe there is damp in the area where the door was and the dog can smell it.

He was doing it yesterday, I was calling his name and it was like he was in a trance, he was transfixed to that spot. He did eventually look round at me and start wagging his tail. It's just so odd.

How old is your dog? We had one that started doing this when he got old.

He's 8

When I was a child we had a Labrador and there was an overgrown pond down the road that she would never, ever walk past. My Dad said she would just stop dead and she wouldn't go any further. She must have sensed something that made her v uneasy

Once my cat was sat just staring up at the corner of our front room. He had probably seen something tiny like a fly or spider that I couldn't see but it's quite unnerving wondering what can they see up there that I can't. Esp as I had just watched Insidious Shock

Is he in good health?

Maybe he's waiting for someone to walk through the 'door'.

One of our cats does this, will stare at a spot for ages, although in her case I think it is just that it hasn't occurred to her to look in a different direction.

We had one that used to stare at the ceiling. DH reckoned he didn’t like the artex.
