[nagdu] Stress Issues

[Sam Hogle]

Is there any particular thing that could be stressing him? Whatever that 
reason is could contribute to why he can't be trusted off leash. For 
example, we used to have a pet dog that was so stressed about the 
prospect of being alone that he would immediately get distructive if we 
were home but he found himself alone in part of the house. Even though 
he could have gone to the next room to find us, he would get so paniced 
that I guess that never entered his mind. So, I was thinking your dog 
might have a similar fear. Do you know if his puppy raisers ever 
commented on his behavior to the school?
