I use it for anxiety in the old and poorly pointers, and it's fantastic. Pricey though!

CBD is good for anxiety but he sounds more like he is just being a jerk....
If you go that route, Blue Bird Botanicals in Colorado is probably gonna be the best- I have used it for Fennec with mixed results...

He us being a jerk Kelly, today for am potty let out, he had his fit right out of the crate. On the flat leather collar.
It took 45 min before I would let him out the door, 15 on the deck before I would let him out the gate, and another 20 on the stairs , the while thing based on a sit.
What about I use a prong, with a pipe, to keep him at arms length, and just let him spazz it out. I woyld have to move the crate out, as he will roll into furniture, and just work on the reactivity?
Wish we had Leerburg close by!

And after all that, I was a sweaty hair covered mess, in -1c, and he did pee, with no issue within 1 min, after I finally got my sit, and is currently napping in his crate, on the deck.

The family is never home. And evenings he spends in place. So it does not affect them at all.
Matter of fact, they wouldn't even hear him had I not started the am routine change.
Maybe I am crazy,but I feel once I can get over his authority Challange enough that he can contain his impulses, that I can work through the rest. He was doing so well until Jim's brother in law stayed here for 3 days.
Than all training went out the window.

. . . . . .It took 45 min before I would let him out the door, 15 on the deck before I would let him out the gate, and another 20 on the stairs , the while thing based on a sit.

Help me out. What exactly was happening during that hour and 20 minutes?
Also, about the pipe to keep him at arm's length, does this mean he's still biting or trying to bite you when you try to control him on the collar and leash?

As soon as I picked up the lead and he rushed the crate I closed the crate door. When he sat I said goid, outside, led him out, said sit, and put on my boots. The minute my foot moved an inch, he flew put of his sit, I popped the leash, no, sit, he tried to run back into the crate. The minute he did that, he put collar pressure on his neck. Than he rolled, clawed, barked, and pushed into me with his body, while doing all the nonsense.
He is always about pressure. Tell a sit, down, place, or do a 180 when he is not paying attention, or use a hand to push him into the command, and not roughly u might add, he immediately starts his nonsense.
He could be in place, and it's potty time, and if you try and clip a leash, he head blocks you, and will start up the minute you lead him off the cot. There us no rhyme or rhythm, it's not Every time.
He still bites the leash, so is in a muzzle. It's the clawing I want to stay away from, and I currently may need surgery on my foot from him slamming his muzzle on the top of my foot above the ball. When he does follow a command, it's into you, a down on your foot, or leaning on you, a sit in your side, always a paw on you somewhere.
Did I explain right?

The whole hour and 2p us the same, when he finally sits, I move through each doorway, or gate. Each time, he lunges, or rushes, I step back, no, and he reacts to that pressure.
I had been pounding pavement whilst he did his fits, but with the foot I have to walk on the side til this afternoon, when my next appt is. So i just stand there, holding the leash away from my body, and wait it out.
I think he did well yesterday only because we worked for 15 min every hour, so he was exhausted enough to just follow commands. All were marked, and rewarded when commands were followed. No reward was the correction.

LOL. Yes, I guess you did. I was asking you, and you explained, so I guess it's right.
This is really grasping at straws here, but when was the last time he had a thorough vet check? Wacky thyroid levels can cause behavioral issues. Feeling pain anywhere can cause strong reactions. Is there any chance his hearing or eyesight are bad? Those are all real long shots, I know, and I realize you don't have easy access to a vet.
