I definitely get that.

I haven't! I'll go check it out thanks! I've recently started talking to the vet about getting him on medication he is mostly fed by anxiety as well, big dog big energy and all.

I was so, so hesitant to put our boy on medication because I didn't want to somehow compromise who he was, which is... I know it sounds weird, but I had this imagine of a doped up dog or something. He's on a medium dose of prozac daily and has an as-needed higher dose of anxiety medication. We have seen incredible progress. It's not a magic pill or anything, but he's calmer, sleeps better, and his threshold is much higher. My only regret is that we didn't do it sooner.
