It has different people in the house all the time and its behaviour with them is strange and unpredictable and it barks constantly.. pretty much all day even if there is someone in the house it chooses to sit and bark alllll day.
Could all these different people be part of the problem? How do they treat him? Does he have consistency insofar as how he's called; what is and isn't ok? I recently had work done in my home and for several days three really nice gentlemen were in and out constantly. Piper just finally couldn't take it and she became somewhat aggressive, barking and even once lunging at (wouldn't ya know it?!) my landlord; I had her in my arms at the time, but these behaviors were very out of character for Piper. After we got our house back, Piper, too, returned to her sweetest lil' self. Maybe Jake is be over-stimulated or teased or is simply confused at all he's being subjected to...? Could you find a quiet, off-limits-to-everyone-but-you, place for him in order that he has quiet and calm? |
