When my ex-bf and I broke up, I also moved shortly afterwards. Altogether, it was a bit tough for Sadie. She started being destructive when I was gone (tearing up books, shredding boxes, etc). When I got Riley, he gladly helped. LOL. Crating helped with Sadie. I baby-gated them when Riley got bigger.
She was okay with me being in charge, but she did get protective of me. She'd circle the apartment at night before she'd go to bed at night. She started barking at people that she didn't know, and guarding the apartment more.
She still guards my house and is protective of me, but that was the only major change. Interestingly, Riley has always been well-behaved for my ex-bf (we're still best friends), even though he never knew him as part of his pack.
