[nagdu] Stress Issues

[reinhard stebner]

The dog I had needed this because he would get in to everything, tare up
everything and if the door was opened for any length of time he would be out
of it at a flash.  He could never be trusted to be off-leash.

Wow! I don't think "I guess this dog just can't be an off leash dog" is
really an acceptable answer. I have had a batch of dogs and several
problems, but I never had one that had to always be tied, leashed, or
crated. Cindy
