Why is your new dog afraid to go out then afraid to come back in after he is coaxed outside?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some dogs are just spooked like humans can get in the dark. Also, your dog may hear or smell something you can't see. I use a sensor light in the doggy run for my dogs and as soon as they go through the doorway to out into the doggy run the light automatically goes on. I also stand at the door until they do their business. Sometimes they'll bark while out there (could be a cat or a raccoon) and that's what dogs do. I give them the command to come in for fear of them waking up the neighbors. Try the sensor light and just stand at the door. A few times of this (leaving the door open if you can) and your dog will get over the habit.

What the biggest fear of a koala?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Koalas are no more afraid of fire than any other wild animal is, but they sense its destructive force. Bushfires in Australia have the capacity to wipe out thousands of square kilometres of prime bushland, in which koalas live. These fires move rapidly, and the tops, or crowns, of the eucalyptus trees in which koalas shelter and find food literally explode with the flames as the eucalyptus oil inside reaches boiling point.

Is fear innate or learned by dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dogs are physically unable to formulate negative emotions because the complexity of their brains are not as developed as ours. Dogs do not become fearful of something, they are naturally born with certain instincts that guide them through life, such as their instinct of fear.

Why are spiders scary to people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is in your genes. Nowadays, there is nothing to be afraid of - the only spiders which are significantly dangerous are far from civilization, where few or even no humans live. However, long ago, in places such as Britain and America, there were dangerous spiders living amongst humans. Of course, long ago, they had moved away from where people are living, but fear of spiders seems to have made a mark on our genes. It affects some people more than others, which is why not all people are afraid of spiders. So, to conclude, as long as you are near civilization, you shouldn't have anything to worry about spiders; the chances are it is harmless! The fear of spiders is called arachnophobia.

Can spiders sense fear in people who are afraid of them aka. arachnaphobian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No...spiders cannot sense fear. Spiders do not have a sense of smell or emotional response. What they do sense is the jerky rapid movements that people who are afraid of them make. I work with tarantulas and I tell people that no matter how afraid they are, if they don't make sudden jerky movements then the tarantula will not run or act erratically. It works every time, I have people who are so terrified of tarantulas that they are shaking, but as long as they hold still, the tarantula is calm and does not make sudden movements
