i wonder if he is trying to tell you something. a lot of times when milu barks, i would check several things to see if that's why she is barking. sometimes i can't find anything that she might be barking about, i just ignore her and tell her to stop barking. but usually i will find out later what she wanted. so milu really doesn't bark for no reason.

did bailey use to bark so much for no reason? was he a barker? did he bark for attention. if this is unlike him, you really should try to find out why he is doing it. it might be health issue, he might be uncomfortable because of something. or it might be some sort of insecurity. you have new animals now? another cat and another dog right? maybe bailey doesn't feel like sharing you with the bf and the cat and the other dog. you know? milu always interferes me when i pay too much attention to my bunnies.

if milu suddenly have a drastic change in behavior and personality, i would definitely want to make sure her health is ok.

Thank you everyone for your more positive replys haha! I think i got a little upset last night when everyone started saying it was my bf because he honestly loves bailey just as much as me.. sometimes more i think lol. We give bailey alot of attention and yes he has learnt that crying gets him more attention. If i didnt care about my yorkie and love him very much do you really think i would be on here looking for help and advice.

He is not ill or anything like that, he went to the vets last week for a check up and i told the vet what he is doing and he also said he is just wanting attention and i need to break the habit.

I am going to carry on ignoring him when he cries. I normally give in and let him sleep on me while i stroke him but its just making him worse to the point i cant even eat my tea lol. What a clever little furbutt he is. The past 2 months he has drove me crazy but last night when i started to ignore him alittle he didnt cry as much ....and at one point he lay on the floor and went to sleep..... HE HAS NEVER DONE THAT IN SUCH A LONG TIME!!!! He will normally only go to sleep in his bed or on me :D So maybe this ignoring his whining is working.

hey there - I posted earlier and did think that all these changes came suddenly - now you posted more details and i understand....he's learned that whing is a way to get your attention and maybe that's why it all started just recently - the only thing I did notice is he's able to be on furniture when the BF isn't there - but yes when it's just you ? That can be a bit confusing for any dog....but in time maybe you'll find a solution - constant whining would get on my nerves also but like I posted - my oldest is just bossy and I tell her to 'stop' when she goes a bit far and normally she does - also telling her to 'lay down' helps..
