Whenever I leave my dog with my room mate he is always super dull, inactive and stops eating. Is it that he doesn't feel safe around him?

Hi sir..If you pet refuses to eat when you are not around but if if eats the entire meal once you are back home..Chances are that they feel anxious and stressed when you leave your pet...

Try to ease him and take positive action to prevent seperation anxiety...Leave a special toy..Make sure your pet has exciting things to do when you are not with them..You can start training ..Begin by encouraging your dog to go to their bed ..leave them for a short period...Reward your dog for remaining quietly in tgeir bed...Take you pet for regular walks oonce your pet is vaccinated..

Try to socialise your pet with other dogs...

Hi, in addition to that you should also let your roommate interact with the pup even when you are around. You can let your roommate give him food and treats occasionally, to win his trust. At this age the pup should be able to overcome this easily. Make sure you let the pup go to him by choice and let it not be forced. If the pup starts resisting and cries to come to you I would suggest letting your roommate handle for a little longer and not taking over otherwise the pup would start doing it even more.
