Awww Foam... This whole thread has been breaking my heart, but I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents too. First off, hang in there! Second, Ozzy is still just a baby! So try not to give up hope so soon. When we first got Chloe, she was a rescue with severe separation anxiety. She shredded our carpet, chewed up 3 crates, and almost broke thru our French doors. I know that most people coming home to that would have had a fit and taken her back. We got her a behavioralist. It worked! Now she's a great dog, with only a few neurotic quirks.

Charlie... God... Charlie... I always say Charlie has ADD. And I swear it's not far from the truth. He just turned 2 this year, and up until about 8 months ago, he was almost more than I could handle. He had been crate trained, but was still kennel shy and got violent whenever you closed the door. House trained, but refused to go outside. The cleaning bill from my last apartment was rediculous because of the monster! It took a lot of time (which I don't have a lot of, my work schedule sucks! 12 hours days most days i work) but he's finally starting to shape up into a respectable pooch. He's not as destructive as he used to be, I can actually trust him to be here when I'm not home.

I just thought I'd give you a couple of examples so you know you're not alone. I think the advice about summer is great. Put him in training (charlie failed his classes miserably), spend time with him. If it doesn't seem to be working the way you'd like, talk to your vet about a behaviouralist. He's a kid going thru his teen stage, so patience is definitely a virtue.

Hang in there, kiddo and keep us posted! All 12 of us over here are rooting for you!
