Default Neurotic Dog-long

Hi all,
I'm new to this newsgroup so let me know if there is somewhere more
appropriate to post.

We have a 4 year old Lab mix. She has been trained to stay in the yard
(large yard ~1-1.5 acres) with an invisible fence. In fact, over the last
couple of months we haven't even had to keep the collar on her anymore and
have turned the fence off. About a week or so ago (fence off, no collar),
she suddenly refused to go outside into the "fenced" yard unless she was put
on a leash. Just runs the other way when we open the door. If you take her
out into the yard on the leash and then take her off of it she'll run back
to the house and wait by the door.

Because of this we've resorted to taking her out the back door, outside of
the "fenced" area. There we can take her out on a leash and then let her
run. She then does her business. Doesn't run back to the house either.
Letting her out this way requires our attention, as it is open to the road.

We'd like to get her back into the fenced yard, but she's obviously afraid
of something. We're not sure what it is, but after 1-2 weeks she's still
afraid. She's not a particularly skittish dog either.

Any ideas? I'm afraid if we constantly take her outside the yard, that's
the only place she'll go and do her business. On the other hand, she won't
do anything currently in the fenced yard.

TIA

Bart
