Hi

My wife and I have a 2 year old Yorkie normal size male called Harrison. Recently he has become very sad lying on the floor away from us. We think it might be down to having a new 2 month old baby in the house. Night time is the worse we always put him to sleep downstairs but he has taken to going outside thro his pet door in protest. He then won't come in and stands outside in the cold. No amount of treats will entice him in. This is just one example. He also has massive issues regarding strangers coming into the house. He has been known to nip a few . He is fine with family and people he knows . He also seems to struggle with the concept of the outside world and goes mental and is destroying our curtains and blinds when people walk past. Any suggestions would be helpful. I work for home so he has company but we don't think we could cope with another dog. We try to make sure he gets attention as well as the baby but it's tough!

Any ideas guys

Chris
