I have a bit of a problem & am hoping for some advice or tips on how to handle it.  I have a 10 year old golden retriever who is usually a great dog, but 3 months ago I had a baby and since then he has been driving me insane!  He gets into the garbage and into our cupboards when we are not home and eats whatever he can find & makes a huge mess.  He is very sulky whenever we are home, we try to give him extra attention but it doesn't seem to be helping.  He is only bad whenever we leave him home, what can I do to stop behaviour that is happening when I am not around?  Any advice would be great laugh

I would suggest taking some time every day and playing with him alone, make sure you are taking him for lots of walks and just be patient.  As soon as the baby gets a bit older he will realize that he has a new companion and he will be fine.  My sister went through the same thing when she had her son – they go through a period of adjustment and it's perfectly normal.  Good luck!
