Max gets anxious around other dogs and in certain situations. I hired a behaviorist and she was so helpful. She used a combination of training, calming techniques, and a mixture of essences (rescue remedy included) and he has improved so much since we began the program. I was comfortable trying that route rather than medicating him because he wasn't anxious ALL of the time. Maybe if you talk to a behaviorist he/she could help you find the CAUSE of his anxiety and then you can determine the best way to treat the problem and if medication would be the best treatment approach.
