I've always taken him to work with me. Every morning I pack his crate, his bag and his bed and toys and take him with me. Last week became a problem. Every noise he heard, he'd start with this shrill bark. Every time the door opened, he took off barking at whoever was there, then down at their feet with his ears back. Before, he would just go into the front room when the door opened and want to be petted. Now he's like mini Cujo taking off.

PLUS, he peed and pooped three times last week INSIDE within 10 minutes of taking him out. It's nice to see dog poo in the floor when you walk into a business establishment.

I can't have that in our office and Wednesday and Thursday I left him at home in a larger crate. (He learned how to climb over the top of his mesh play pen).

I feel like dirt about it but I can't have what few customers we have lately being put off by a barking dog. Any suggestions?

**Edited to add*** he only seems to be this way since July 4th and the fireworks. Now even thunder sends him into a tizzy. Like right now, he just heard a doorbell on TV and he's barking like a nut.
