I totally understand the devastation of separation anxiety as we had the Weimaraner first and he was awful! Freya has helped calm him down and they both stay out of trouble too.Freya's Humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526525405017010276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-19536854536388754532009-04-09T13:03:00.000-07:002009-04-09T13:03:00.000-07:00Thanks everyone.

The carpet is actually something we'd like to replace sometime in the next couple of years. It also helps that Husband and I never go in the guest room, so it's not something I'll ever really notice. It's just something we eventually have to fix that is going to cost money. No biggie, we were going to do it anyway. :)<BR/><BR/>Cathy, Husband's parents went and bought a crate the day after they got home. From hearing her advice, it doesn't sound like the trainer they're going to is that great. But Husband and I spent lots of time with them on the phone telling them the best way to approach it. For now they're feeding Rex in his crate. That's what worked for Theo. I haven't heard how it's working for them yet.JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-16683613150656471522009-04-08T17:39:00.000-07:002009-04-08T17:39:00.000-07:00Any chance they can work with a trainer and try cr...Any chance they can work with a trainer and try crate training him? Slowly, leaving the door open so he can move in and out freely, put a toy or a cookie in there. A nice fleece or soft towel maybe. Make it a happy place for him, like his own little den. Then, start closing the door for a few minutes at a time, increasing in length till he can be in it for a couple of hours for travel, visits, etc. Stay in the room with him at first, gradually leaving for a few minutes at a time. It is really a safety issue because the crate will keep him safe rather than frantic if he knows it is a good place and he will always be 'let out' when they come home. It is time consuming, but worth the training. I hope they will try it. Happy Easter to you!

Bryson also has his miscellaneous fear issues (that we assume are from his pre-us years), it's really remarkable how certain fears just imprint on their brain even though there isn't a reason to be fearful of those things any longer...

Dad picked him up by the tail where he hung like a possum. Dad said he really loved Mom a lot or he would have killed him! Funny people... I know Dad and he wouldn't hurt a dog!
