Lily’s reaction to the Dutch door provides insight into pet psychology. Despite the convenience of the design, Lily experiences fear and anxiety when introduced to the door—a common issue for older dogs resistant to change. The builder is patient, understanding that dogs often develop fears over time, even without prior mistreatment.
He plans to gradually accustom her to the door, possibly by using training techniques or positive reinforcement, recognizing that her fears are normal and manageable with patience.
