No problem. I don't look at belly bands as a crutch but as a tool to break a bad habit.

Also, you mentioned not wanting to give him something for the stress-- sometimes things that are as "lightweight" (for lack of a better term) as melatonin or l-theanine can actually help him destress enough to actually learn to handle the stress. If the stress is high enough, he won't be able to learn to handle it until a little of the edge is taken off. We've used those kinds of things off and on to assist in the stress training with good success.
Amalie, if I said good stress, would you get me? I think he likes both the in laws dogs, and the male that is there pretty well avoids Uzi unless he gets in his face too much. And he looooves the female. What do you think? Or maybe I'm just not seeing it and the problem behvior is symptom of bad stress only?
