a true dog owner. sells patio furniture because the dog doesn't like it. Soon you will have nothing but a towel to sit on.
I would just leave everything alone and dont make a big deal of it. the more you push him and make a deal of it the worse it may get. I would train around the stuff, make some fun play around it and pretend its not there. Let him bark at it and figure it out for himself when he is out there on his own. Maybe just put some food by the stuff.

Re: Suspicious and insecure behavior
One thought I just had is that it may not be the objects at all.
There could be a smell or sound that you can't hear or smell that causing this behavior. Remember those senses are way better on the dog than you.

Re: Suspicious and insecure behavior
Its not the objects per se, if the patio furniture went and he switched his agression to other objects its his reaction in general.
I dont think its a smell, there is something going on about stuff. One thought was his protection sense is on super high but its not inside.
