Why is my dog doing this?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

My australian shep/blue heeler is 12. All of a sudden within last couple of years she is weird.Everytime I cough or clear my throat she runs to the other end of the house like she is scared. I try to get her to come to me before I cough to let her know its okay, but she wont.Last night I came home and my throat has been dry so I was clearin it and she tucks her but in and hides in my daughters room at the other end of the house, she will have nothing to do with me. This is a dog I have raised as pup, she has always been only attached to me and very protective of me. this morning she would not even come near me. she layed down in my daughters room again and faced the wall.what do I do?
