Harley has been really reserved lately. He doesn't want to play as much, he just kinda sits in a corner and stares. He doesn't bother Sam, or Lemon, which he used to do all the time, and he doesn't want to go up to other dogs. He eats, sleeps, pees, poos and then goes back to his corner. Any ideas? :confused:

That's either a dog who is ill or hurting in some way, or one who is depressed. Either way, it's disturbing.

Have there been any significant changes in your environment lately?

He could have figured out that Lemon is staying and is pouting . . . Try giving him some extra attention, out by himself without the other two and see what happens. Just make sure you spend time playing with all three of them together so he doesn't isolate himself further.

It could be all of the above. I think you need to spend some extra special time with Harley... he has some issues he needs to work through...

Yes, thank you guys, I will get off of chaz soon and go take a walk with him so that he doesn't feel left out. Gotta get that bouvier happy-go-lucky attidude back in him!

I would have your vet check him out pretty thouroughly to rule out any illness or injuries, just to be sure. and I also recommend everyhting that EliNHunter said.

Paying extra special attention is a good idea and I agree, a vet checkup might be in order if things don't change.
