Why does my dog suddenly refuse peanut butter from a spoon and pee?

Question

We have always given our dog the extra peanut butter off of a spoon and she happily licked it up. Then all of a sudden she would refuse it on the spoon just come up and sniff it then walk away with her head down but would take It if in her Kong chew toy. I just tried again to give it to her on a spoon, she ran away and peed after coming and smelling the peanut butter. Why would she just start doing this suddenly? She has never been abused and never been hit or threatened with a spoon. Pet's info: Dog | German Shorthaired Pointer | Female | unspayed | 50 lbs

This is an odd behavior. If it's a sudden change I'd be more worried there is something underlying such as pain/illness causing it. A vet visit is a good idea to see if it helps. If she checks out healthy, gradually reintroducing her to the peanut butter (placing it on a surface, then your fingers, then a spoon held still, etc) may help encourage her to check it out again without fear.
