He growls and runs to sit next to/behind me or jumps in his bed if I am not around.
If someone knocks at the door, he is ok no growling but if someone walks past or next door is going in or out he starts.
Our old house had a front garden and was quieter. This house opens right onto the street and next doors door is right next to us! Could this be it?
Why is he running to me? Is he trying to protect me or have me protect him? Is this behaviour ok?
How can we stop this? He never ever growls any other time and shows no aggressive behaviour at all.
Thanks for any help you can offer

It sounds like he wants protection from you if someone walks into the house he doesnt growl as thats what happened in your other house, so nothing for him to be worried about, where as before he didnt have staragers being that close to his door and is wary, ime sure he will get used to it when he realises nothing bad comes of people being that close passing his door. Bless him
