Hi,
I have a 2 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She has always slept in the same room as me, when she was small, in a crate, and as she got older, on a dog bed. In the beginning she was always crated when I left the house, and after time I got rid of the crate and just confined her in my bedroom with her dog bed, some water, and some toys. I travel for work and she travels well with me, In hotels rooms, I bring her dog bed, toys and turn the tv on in the room and I go to work with no worries, never any complaints from the hotel, she is not a barker and doesnt cry when left alone. Most of the time when I return home she is on my bed, but that doesnt bother me much.

Problem: Recently I bought a new house, my dog still sleeps in my room on her dog bed and I still leave her toys and some water for her in my room when I leave. I've never given her the freedom of the entire house because I once read it can be stressful for dogs as they feel too much responsibility. Since being in the new house, when I come home from work, or at lunch to check on her, I've noticed lots of scrathces in the carpet at the door, she's trying to get out of the room, she seems anxious, over excited, jumps all over me, goes downstairs and drinks an entire bowl of water....a few times she's even thrown up a bit of water because she drinks so much so fast and is so worked up. The water in my room is usually untouched (although she drinks out of the water bowl in my room when I'm home?). I dont know why she's having such a hard time all of a sudden, she's always been good with adjusting to new places, I've always followed the same routine of giving her a biscuit and telling her to go to her bed when I'm going out. Not sure if it's new sounds but she's stayed at friends houses and my parents and I've never had a problem. She oviously doesnt want to be confined in this new house. I cant have her ruining my carpet yet I still dont want her having the freedom of the entire house. Any suggestions? should I start crating her again?
