[nagdu] Stress Issues

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Landon is not trustworthy if left alone at home, off leash outdoors in an 
unfenced area, or at other people's homes.  He either finds something 
inappropriate to tear up and play tug of war with or eats animal crap and 
then gets sick that requires a vet visit and medication for the resultant 
diarhia.  He is very good off leash at home or when I'm in the same room 
with him.

Lyn and Landon
