Piko is a 2.5 years old mini Australian Shepherd.
We bought him when he was 7 months old.
He has an severe separation anxiety.
He has attacked the other dog in the house.; he lunges at family members, has to be contained behind a series of dog gates throughout the house; growls and takes a defensive position when he is near my wife and others approach her. He has lunged at people who get too close; cannot be walked during the day - only night walks and still is very reactive to dogs and people - even when more than a block away; has been turned down by 3 different trainers with distinct training techniques; dog sitter is scared to approach him; barks unhinged at neighbor dogs.
