Jake's acting really wierd now, and I'm worried about him! As I mentioned in my other posts, we brought a big new dog home, and Jake kept trying to mount him, then yesterday Max bit jake.

Now Jake won't hang out with the rest of the "pack"! When we're watching TV, he hangs out in the mud room by the back door. He won't play fetch, he won't come when he's called, and he won't eat his dinner. He usually sleeps in the mud room, but last night he slept upstairs behind the bed in one of the guest rooms!

I think that he thinks he's been banished from the pack! I keep trying to encourage him to come in with the rest of us, especially when Max is crated. But he won't. Last night I went out to the mud room and babied him for a long time.

Help! Is there anything I can do? Is this normal dog behavior?
