Boston Terrier starting to act scared/sad

by Rachel
(Virginia)

I have a boston terrier who is over a year old. When we take her to play with my boyfriends mothers dogs she used to come home and act pouty but we thought she was just tired. Now my parents have gotten a puppy and when we go over she is fine she plays and is happy. But when we come home (3days in a row now) she walks around acting sad, pouting and shaking. She won't eat at home and just follows us from room to room. She will want to go outside but just stands there and if she sits with you she just shakes. Does anyone know what this could be? Is she really just sad and being bratty b/c she had to leave the puppy?

My step-daughter has a Boston that tries those behaviors to get her way. She doesn't like to go outside to potty and when I take her out I watch her and she will look puny and shake. Then when she realizes I am the boss she will potty real quick and run back inside.

It sounds like she wants you to take her back to play! Just ignore her and go about your business, she should start following you around after a while. When she does come over, look really happy and play with her for a bit.
