I did go ahead and get the D.A.P., but don't know if it helped because I did a few other things. I take a shower at night so I put my towel right up next to the crate where he lays his head. The biggest change was that I realized I was paying a whole lot of attention to him. Not babying him or anything, but at night I was watching him alot seeing how he was acting and it was probably making more stress on him. I started making bedtime just another part of the day, no fanfare, just kennel and treat and close the door. Oh yeah, and double the exercise! That throwaway at the end might've helped A LOT! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Double the exercise -- now, IME, that helps with most behavior issues. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Sounds like you did everything right. Wa-hoo! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

This was an extreme case. Nothing helped for any length of time. The thing that helped the most was the medication Buspar.
