As you are not happy about using chemical drugs on your dog have you discussed Zyklene with your vet?<br /><br />Sometimes a short term dose of medication can help with getting things back on track. I haven't heard of Clopicalm, do you mean Clomicalm? This is clomipramine hydrochloride and is often used to treat separation anxiety in dogs and depression in people.<br /><br />The help of a good behaviourist will also be beneficial. There are some really good ones out there, who may be degree qualified but have decided not to register with UKRCB or APBC. Ask what level of experience and qualifications they have.<br /><br />I would suggest trying to keep the dog awake during the day so that he is more inclined to sleep at night. <br /><br />It does sound more cognative than behavioural and I think discussing alternative medication with your vet would be the best option and any good behaviourist should suggest this too.<br /><br /><br />Olwen TurnsCloverleafk9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02068277245915684036noreply@blogger.com
