Tyree update

We've been in a sort of holding pattern for a few weeks, with no real progress. We pen up the girls for a few hours most every day and give him the run of the house, but he never seems to relax during those times. He still jumps at the gate when one of them walks by and spends a lot of his outside time just sitting in front of their room. The only time he does relax is when I spend time with him in his room with the door shut. I've not found a treat that he likes enough to use for clicker training (the original ones were making him sick). I still click before brushing him, but that's not enough for him to really "get it".

On Monday morning I've scheduled a visit from a behavior specialist that our vet recommended. This is an in home visit, so that the vet can get a good feel for what is going on with the various interactions and environment. The end result of the visit should be a plan of things to do and not do to help change the behavior. Here's hoping.

Oh, and it turns out this vet has a website: www.petpsych.com
