Autumn is afraid of the basement. She's never liked the stairs too much but now she acting afraid to go anywhere near the basement door. The dog food is kept in the basement and she usually waits at the top of the stairs for me to fill her dish and bring it up, but now she waits a few feet away from the top of the stairs. I put a leash on her to walk her down with me and she backed out of her collar and hid under the kitchen table. She wouldn't even go down the stairs to get a treat at the bottom. My stepdad thinks its because the basement smells like Pepper (Pepper used the basement for a bathroom when she started regressing back to her puppyhood, she had a pen in the basement of our house when we first got her). Either way, Autumn won't go near the basement. She starts to fidgit and wag her tail real fast when I open the door and even peed a little once. Any thoughts?
