If "Opening the gate" is underlined, it is a phrase. "Opening" is just a present participle that describes an action happening at the same time with another action (opening happens at the same time as letting the dog). It doesn't function as a noun, so it is not a gerund. It doesn't form a predicate, so it can't be a clause or a sentence either.

All the effects described in the rest of the passage are derivatives of fear, meaning that fear is essential to the passage. Thus, the author seeks to emphasize the word as much as possible.
