Without more information, it's hard to say why Kipper doesn't come into your room anymore. I suspect that there may be something about your room that makes him anxious or uncomfortable, but it can be hard to determine exactly what this might be in many cases. Some dogs will act this way if you have a new piece of furniture, a new electronic device that makes strange sounds, or if you use a new cleaning product that has a different smell than what they are used to. If you can't think of anything that could be bothering him, I would recommend getting in touch with a good reward-based trainer or a veterinary behaviorist who can evaluate him in person to help determine what the problem might be.
