Our almost 6 month male Border Terrier is showing some stressed behaviour when he’s home with just my other half. He refuses to eat when I’m not there, including treats, and likes to just sit/lie at the door and wait for me to come back. He’s crate trained and will go into his crate for some of the time, but is reluctant to do anything my other half asks of him, including to go outside to potty. It’s like he becomes afraid of even basic things that he’s used to. It’s hard for me to understand as I don’t see most of this behaviour as it tends to happen when I’m out of the house. We’ve had him since 8 weeks old and he’s always had the same routines of me being out of the house some days, and my other half out on other days- he’s fine when he’s just with me though. Is this just his next fear period and he’s likely to grow out of it, or should we be concerned?
