Did a full switch over to Earthborn Coastal Catch after a 12 hour fast.
Wow! Is all I can say. He has had no regurgitation and he is having the most normal poops I have ever seen come out of him. Yay!

Now if only would could get him to stop trying to hurt everyone. :(

So glad to hear that he's doing ok on the food. I agree, now to stop him from hurting everyone. How's your mom? What did the animal control say?

Mom's okay. Swollen and bruised and a couple stitches in each puncture.

Animal control showed up, looked at his records, gave me a copy of our local dog by laws with the dangerous dog section highlighted. Buddy could hear Xerxes going ape in my room and just raised his eyebrows at me and left.

I used to be able to have people step inside. Xerxes would bark/growl initially and then I would get him in a down/stay on his mat but can't do that anymore. As soon as I turn my back he heads toward the door barking all over again. So I take him to the room before answering the door.

Still haven't heard back from the trainer. I left another message so hopefully soon.

Glad you're mom is ok. :)

Titan goes ape shit when anyone comes to the door. I always have to put him in his crate before I let them in and/or answer the door. The door is right by the living room window, so he stands there and barks/growls at them. I tell them to stop looking at him and I get him into his crate.

I'm glad the AC didn't take Xerxes.

Has the trainer had experience with mastiffs and pups with behavioral issues?
