I do know that the quality of his life could be dramatically better. If he didn't stress about so many normal things he could be happy. At bath time, he freezes up and becomes rigid, refusing to move and yelps when the water splashes *ahem* down under. Sometimes he screams when you pick him up, other times he pees on himself while in the submission position. If company comes over he yips, screams and barks (the barking is like rapid fire, if that makes sense). Crating him until company can get through the door only increases his volume. Lately his new favorite thing to do is bark at nothing in the center of the backyard and upon correction, he barks just one more time.
Sometimes when all the planets are in alignment, he is a good dog, this is about 2 hours out of the week.
I know my life would be a lot easier if he was calmer. I really look forward to that.
I'm going to start him on his medicine tonight, I'll post an update in the morning. Wish me luck!
