This toy has saved my life (read: has helped me wear down a high-energy pup).
You can use it even in a smaller space (like an apartment) and use it while you talk on the phone, watch TV, etc.
My puppy LOVES this and will chase it back and forth until he is worn out.
I think it's been a week since our pup started her full dose of Zoloft (the week before was half the therapeutic dose), and so far so good, knock wood. I'm pretty sure at this point in her Prozac journey she had already gone totally nuts, so the fact that she's pretty much just a little sleepier than usual is hopefully a good sign. We also didn't ramp her up on Prozac, which probably didn't help.
Has anyone seen SSRIs work with a dog that's very fearful outside? Ours, after weeks of progress where we could take her to all our lovely on-leash parks, regressed about a month ago and is back to panicking once we hit the end of our block. It's so sad. I try to remind myself we're only a week into a therapeutic dose and we shouldn't expect it to have fully worked yet. (My own SSRIs took longer than that!)
Also, I just wanna take a second to sing the praises of the flirt pole. I'm not a trainer, so I don't want to say it will work for every dog, but it tires our pup out like magic, which is important given that our walks have been so short. And it's way less exhausting for us than tug!
After reading your other comments it seems to me that your pup needs more exercise. Having herding breeds myself, this is something I have to make sure to do if I don't want a wound-up and destructive pup on my hands.
If you have a yard and you're not in the mood to go for a walk, I would recommend getting a Flirt Pole for him and tiring him out that way. A tired dog is a happy dog and a tired dog doesn't cause problems.
Be advised, that Flirt Pole I linked is strong enough for my 25 pounder but neither toy survived her wrath. The one made by Squishy Face Studio is higher quality and the toy holds up fantastically. So far the only issue we've encountered is the toy gets a bit dirty but that's nothing that can't be easily solved.
Also try giving him some frozen kongs when you leave or treat dispensing toys filled with his food rations so he will have something to keep himself busy while you're not home.
