Nothing huge, just a few little things that are kind of bugging me.
The "big" one is that he's suddenly... fearful? Seems he's scared of the broom suddenly, no idea why. It's fell on him several times before from him walking into it, but not in the past few months. Suddenly he's avoiding it at all costs. He hid in the corner of my bedroom because it was leaning near the doorway.
He also seems fearful of going down stairs before me all of a sudden. I'm always mindful of him when going up or down stairs, he's never been pushed down stairs my me or my roomies, even accidentally. It's so odd.
Overall he just seems really... wary? He's hyperscanning a lot and weirding out/warning barking at seemingly nothing. This has been going on for a few days. I've been trying to be observant on what he avoids, looks at, shies away from... all I can figure is the stairs and broom things, but I'm sure there's something causing all of it. It's all so sudden.
His health is superb. Eating well, drinking well, healthy eliminations, he's not lethargic at all, he's happy to play. It's just sudden fears. So weird.
Right now I'm click/treating for going down stairs without fear and for approaching the broom. We'll work on nose touches next, I think. Any suggestions are welcome, this is weird behaviour and I don't like a scared Finn. I work very hard with him to make sure he's comfortable with all noises and objects, and it seems like it all fell apart within a day and I can't pinpoint why. It's frustrating.
