I'll keep you all updated. Again, thanks for the support. This is a trying time for me which makes me feel silly since neuroscience/psychology is what I know! It seems harder to deal with it firsthand, though... this is why I like the research and not the counselling....I NEED THE COUNSEL.

Awh Misty I am just reading this now. been absent for a bit. I think you are doing the right thing in exploring meds and also coupling this with a behaviourist. You know that sometimes as dog owners and trainers we contribute to the problem in ways that we never recognize or see. I sure know I have done that with my group. I know that because I work with a great trainer - who sees things I would never see on my own.
Misty you are for sure doing what you can do and I do so hope that it will be successfull.
