Alright, we have the boy home now. He arrived today. He seems to be relatively quiet - calm - very attentive and attention loving. He follows me where ever I go and when I sit somewhere - he lays down right beside me. He is very obedient - sit, heal on command. It took them 4 tranqualizer darts to put him down when animal control caught him - very tightly wound.

Our biggest problem right now seems to be our own Brynn. She's being awful with him. Very aggressive - snarling, snapping, lunging at him. He's not provoking it at all. I realize that she's trying to establish her place in the house - but it's not acceptable.

Thanks for all the tips. Haven't seen anything yet that would indicate any homeopathic remedies for him - but he hasn't been put in the kennel or left alone yet.

Any suggestions for Brynn? We haven't had her all that long - she's had abadonment issues of her own. She's very protective of our family - tends more to go for him when he comes to me for attention - which increases his anxiety and makes him get closer to me. We did Puls with Brynn when we first go her - it seems to have helped - but not completely cured her of her fear of being left.

Having watched her all day - it's really more jelousy than anything. Whenever one of us gives attention to the new dog - she barks and snaps at him.
