My dog hides every morning. Is he stressed from our recent travels?

Question

Hello! My two yr old dog has been hiding in a corner of the basement every morning before I leave for work for the past two weeks. We have been traveling a lot this past month and he has stayed with my parents for 10 days, stayed at a kennel for the first time for two days, and has stayed with my husband's parents for a long weekend. Before we left for our vacation he had loose bloody poop and we took him to the vet where his fecal came back clean. Any thoughts on why he's hiding every morning?

I'm sorry to hear this about Benny, but very glad to hear he was in good health when taken to the vet. I imagine Benny is feeling a little stressed and confused, he is still a young dog so is likely still finding his confidence in your 'pack'. With you guys being away travelling a lot his routine will have been messed up, from his point of view he doesn't really understand what is going on, all he knows is that he is being taken away from home to stay at different places. I would try and spend some really good quality time with him and reinforce his basic training to give him confidence. If possible it would be good if you could have someone take care of him in his own home rather than being taken to different places.
