Default Our dog is afraid to go into his yard

Our dog who is a one year old male Collie and for about a week has been
afraid to go off the deck out into the fenced in grass area in our yard. He
almost looks spooked, which is very out of character for him. He either
stands on the edge or runs behind the bushes. When I take him on the leash
he gets out a little ways and starts to pull back, like he is afraid of
something. Prior to last week he loved playing in this area.



What can be done to alleviate his anxiety and get him enjoying the yard
again?



Background wise the neighbor whose property the fence borders are
aggressive, creepy people. But I never see them anywhere close to our fence
or interacting with our dog in anyway. However, he wants no part of getting
anywhere close to the fence that borders there property. My gut is they
must have done something to spook him.



TIA



David
