A little background. Got the dog from animal rescue. He has always been a submissive dog, peeing when people pet him, etc. We had a very aggresive dog also for a few years. When my ex left he took the aggressive one. So now it is just Buddy. We starting letting be an indoor dog except for during the day. He has always been afraid of thunder, fireworks. Now he freaks. No one home the other day, he was outside. Came home, the front door is a mess - VERY badly scratched up. If you can even smell rain - he will not go outside. We live in a sparsely populated area outside a small town. He just stays on the front porch. I have an 8x8 x 6 foot high chain link pen, but he tears at the door of that till he ends up hurting himself. Any suggestions? leaving him in the house during the day is not an option.
