Bax update!
he's not perfect but its 100% livable now. He still barks and growls when he hears things sometimes. a full bark and a run to the baby gate at the top of the stairs earns him a time out still but that happens maybe once or twice a week and is manageable. other times he'll hear a thump, growl, start to go to the stairs, and then turn around and come back to me which earns him a potato chunk.
i would def say that time outs weren't a miracle cure. hes not flawless, but its manageable and hes so much calmer and more relaxed now. he spends his days snoozing on the couch and chewing up my mail

That's brilliant, Shalista You could ask your neighbour to pop her junk mail through your letterbox each day to keep him occupied

he especially loves when i get my meds once a month. so many crinkly bags and folded up chunks of paper to gnaw
