I agree with the post a few back with your husband being alpha and Teddy not thinking you have the same 'power' over him.

You mentioned that Teddy goes crazy when Darrell gets home....you need to have him start ignoring him for the first few minutes. I've read in a lot of places that lenghty goodbyes and immediate hellos lead to separation anxiety!!

And when I said Edgar made messes in the crate? He made IBS messes caused by anxiety. Even worse when we had 2 neighbors watching him and he had an episode.....I wound up throwing out the plastic piece in the bottom because no matter what I cleaned it with he could still smell or still thought it was an acceptable place to 'go.'

I think you've been reading most (if not every) one of these posts and have a feeling you won't give Teddy up.

Me and my messy dog made it through. YOu go GiRL!!
