Thank you very much SunAngel. Yeah my dog is due for his shots either later this month or next so I was going to ask our vet about it and see if meds. would be the way to go. Thank you for letting me know about how that worked for your friend with the rotweiler. It is comforting to hear how that worked out for someone else in the same situation. He is a really good dog in every other aspect. Just need to figure out a solution to the separation anxiety.
