My Australian Shepherd Has Suddenly Started Crying and Crying, and Scratching at Door

by Colby

I have a 3 yr old Australian Shepherd. Up till maybe one week ago she has been fine. This last week she has cried and cried and cried, scratching at the door to come in and as soon as I open the door she runs right to the mud room and lays down. She is even fine to just be in the garage.

Her schedule hasn't changed... it's been the same. I do have a new puppy but the puppy has been around for a month and a half. I'm wondering if maybe something has happened while I have been away from home.

Would you have any suggestions? She is acting like she is scared to be outside.
