I have a 7 month old Basenji mix I adopted from the shelter when he was 3 months old. He's been neutered. I've no idea how he used to live before the shelter but when I brought him home, he could not be left alone. He would bark and whine when he was left alone.
That's been fixed a lot nowadays, while he still whimpers a bit when I go out of the house, it's not frantic as he used to be. The problem is, whenever I go out and come back in a 'x' number of hours, he'll jump on the door, then will jump on me when I enter the house. He'll whimper and circle around me as well.
While this doesn't bother me much, it's really frustrating when other people such as friends come into the house.
He'll jump on them frantically, whimper and circle them desperately. I have a friend who comes over often and to him, my dog seems to not want to leave him alone. He'll start nipping him, growl at him and just become too much to handle to him. He won't do it to me as he knows that it's the wrong thing to do, but he'll do it to my friends and anybody else that he considers new.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.
