Ok I think I have a neurotic doggy on my hands!
For the past several days my poor dog seems to be going through some sort of emotional crisis. I cant leave the house without Bailey going into a tailspin. He follows my car all the way down my quarter mile driveway and I have to stop the car and put him in it. This is completely new behavior. He has never done it before.
He used to stay under the house and be completely happy to greet us when we got home!
Now on the off chance we do manage to sneak away from him he goes ballistic and jumps clear to chest level and "talks" like we have been gone for days when it may have been 45 minutes. He wont leave my side. He is under my feet as I type this.
He has done somewhat similar behaviors when people have gone on short vacations but not to this extent. He just wandered from room to room at night looking for them. Or if I went away he wouldnt settle down at night and sat at my door and whined. He would sleep ok if husband was here however. (He sleeps in our bed)
I am wondering if this is all a product of Cory being led off in cuffs. He saw that. He wasnt this bad when Cory moved out for a short time before. Cory came by several times a week.
Could a dog be traumatized by the cops? If so, is there a natural product I could give him to calm his lil buttocks down? I cant keep chasing him down the driveway every morning when I take Billy to school...lol.
