Keep in mind that your disposition and attitude will directly affect Bailey's. In other words, if you are anxious and frustrated and annoyed, your dog will be too.

During waking hours, I wouldn't use the spray bottle for crying or for other undesirable behavior that he uses to try to get your attention. I don't think he understood why you were spraying him. Instead, find something for him to do.
I agree.

It's hard once you've allowed them do things in the past, such as get on the furniture, and then some new person moves in and the rules all change. That's what it sounded like to me anyways and probably how Bailey looks at it?

I don't have this problem simply because I allow Jackson access to wherever I am. I think he would go nuts too if locked away or not able to sleep with me... I don't see a problem with it but maybe that's just me. Bailey was brought up thinking these things were okay, and now they're suddenly not, so he's probably confused.
