Maybe someone can help me with this. We recently adopted a sweet 3 yr old daschund because his owners had a baby and no longer wanted him. They made him live in the kitchen at their house. We don't do that, however he won't leave the kitchen unless it's time for his walks. When we first brought him home he ran all over the house the first couple weeks. We have a 13 yr old dog, too. They have their water and food dishes in the kitchen. Roger, the 3 yr old keeps everything in the kitchen under the table. He and the older dog get along fine and we don't favor one over the other. Any ideas?
I'm guessing you want him to leave the kitchen. This may be as simple as move the food and water bowl. Play with him when he's not in the kitchen. If he won't budge, put him on leash and take a walk in the house. Let him know, it okay to live in the whole house now.

Since he keeps everything under the kitchen table it looks for me that he sees this as a kind of den where he can protect his 'stuff' from the older one. Also that he run free in the house for several weeks and then chose the kitchen again makes me thinking if the older has something to do with it. It might be the only place where he feels comfortable and not 'unsecure' because of the older one. Sometimes it doesn't need a fight to show who boss is. Body language and posture are the key to show dominance.
