2. Is this strange behavior? I never had a dog scared of doorways.

3. I'm scared of doorways.

I'm afraid I'll forget why I am entering that room. Usually happens when I get to the middle of the room.

Oh, getting older!

7. Yeah, ain't that the truth

4. When I first got my rescue Bert,

I opened the door for him to come inside, but I opened it too forcefully and it bounced off the wall and hit Bert. Six years later, he still hesitates whenever he comes inside, 2-4 times a day. I imagine domwthing similar probably happened to this dog at one time.

6. I think this is an Aussie, which isn't surprising.

Aussies are very smart and sensitive and a little crazy too.

8. Not a dumb move at all.

Looks like he has PTSD from a previous experience he had from entering a room so he now walks in backwards to make sure he can get a quick getaway if he has to.
