If not, he could be marking his territory inside. Otherwise, it sounds like you just have a moody dog. I have a Pekingese that is much the same, but we have a really good relationship and he is trained to listen to me. You may need to reinforce your relationship with your dog. If he doesn't know simple tricks like Sit, Down, etc. now would be the perfect time to teach him. Make sure that you are not yelling at him or hitting him because he may take that negatively and not respond well to you at all. By training him, you will be helping your relationship with him and he will come to respect you more. Also, try and schedule some time where you and he can be alone each day. If only for a 10-minute quick grooming with a brush down then a quick game of fetch. This 10 minutes will make him happy with you and will help improve your relationship. Good luck!
