I don't think he is overly attached. Some dogs do not deal well with change. Leaving him alone in a home that is not his with a guy who isn't his person may be have been too much too soon. Sounds...

Sounds like separation anxiety, I'd talk with a trainer.
That really seems extreme, even by lab standards. Have you talked to a trainer or behaviorist?
Maybe he is just so regular that he couldn't handle the change? I think he tried to be considerate by choosing a room you don't use much, or he doesn't use it.
Would your new boyfriend be up to taking total care Barley when he is at your home? He feeds, walks, does training, treats. Be sure he's training the same way you do so as not to confuse. He will...
What's his exercise routine like? Has it changed at all since this new person entered your life?
While I think that dogs feel basic emotions, including jealousy, to me this sounds more like a...
We brought her home July 30 2015.
I remember that whole day so well. So excited when we got to the breeder's, I thought I'd pass out. We chatted inside while I was shaking from emotion. I...

If it only happened twice then I'm with Sundance. Something to keep an eye on but not that unusual. Maybe something happened at your house, someone came to the door and he got all worked up about...
It could also be that those two times he wasn't as empty as you thought he was when you left him.
Once you actually have your puppy, alcohol helps
Could not pass up such a good weather day so the pups and I went for a hike in the woods.
Sam coming out of the thick brush...
He's still a kid. Give him a big hug, and tell him we'll work on it, and do better next time.
I think that being in other people's homes with your dog can be really hard, especially because for most people it isn't a regular occurrence so there isn't a lot of opportunity to practice. While I...
I work from home and spend most mornings on the phone (I'm west coast but work with europe and india, so I'm on the phone between 5 am and 10 am a lot). Usually, I have a half hour gap somewhere...
I can certainly understand how your husband feels. Labs are all I've ever had, so they are all I know. They are high energy, high maintenance, high drive, high love their people, high they want to...
Luna has been left out and not gotten herself into trouble all day since she was 6 months old. Comet is currently 7 months old and can't be left alone for even 5 seconds. So far he's eaten razors,...
We too go to day care and have had a recent bout despite the vaccine which is variable for coverage as mentioned in the other posts. oddly enough I have Stella getting it and Anthony not. Viruses...
Just checking and hoping to hear your sweet boy is feeling better!
So glad hear the good news. Sometimes kennel cough can lead to a secondary infection which might require medication.
Worrying, it's part of the game.
Our boys (4 yrs. old now) get the bordetella twice a yr. They contracted kennel cough from doggie day care even tho. they had the vaccine. So, to be on the safe side, twice a yr. No issues since...
Lola goes to doggie day and they require the bordetella vaccine. Despite the vaccine, she still has had one bout of kennel cough. It was pretty nasty and scary...I thought she was having a seizure....
Barley is so young and healthy, it sounds like it's something treatable... I'm glad you're going to the Vet for a (non-emergent) check up just in case. Keeping you and yours in mind given your...
First thought was kennel cough. It vaccination only covers certain strains.
Sending good thoughts and looking for an update when you get home.
Another vote for kennel cough. I think you can give them (human) cough medicine - might be worth calling a vet, but I doubt I’d make an e-vet visit. Be sure to keep him away from other dogs in...
