So I have this puppy, his name it sewart but we call him stewie. He is this crazy little yellow lab who is one year old. The problem is we found him so we don’t exactly know if he had any bad experiences earlier in life. For some reason, we dont know why but he is afraid of tiled floors and wood floors, we think he might have slipped and gotten hurt sometime before we got him. The sad thing is our entire house is wood floors. So this poor little puppy is terrified of our entire house. The funny thing is that he learned that if he walks backwards he wont see the shiny floor so he is not afraid. So Stewie has now learned the entire house by heart so he doesn’t bump into any walls or anything, he can even climb the stairs backwards. I got a call from my sister saying stewie was walking backwards through the kitchen when he bumped into a chair. He didn’t know what to do so he managed his way under the chair oppose to going around it. haha
company always has a confuse face on when they see our dog walking backwards around the house. as goofy as he is i love him and he is one of the sweetest dogs.

That is too funny! I totally want to see your dog now! I can picture him scootering all around your house backwards!
My dog is afraid of tile and wood floors too. Hearing his nails hit the floor scares him because he thinks something is following him. My dog however is not as smart as yours and just avoids hard floor completely.

Aw, that’s sweet! It’s great your dog could get so inventive to conquer his fears
