A discouraging week. Erica, our trainer, came over last night to see how Zorro is doing. She was impressed that we made it through the 15-day protocol and Zorro showed her he knows the "touch" command. But when she suggested we try to do some exercises out on the desk, he "shut down," as Erica puts it. Her basic message: let's hope the Prozac works.
Of course, it doesn't help that we're in for another round of thunderstorms. Today is cloudy and threatening so I haven't been able to get Zorro out of the yard.
Erica also gave us the name of a veterinary behaviorist (in Gaithersburg, ugh) we could consult if the Prozac doesn't help. She suggested that this problem could be caused by everything from faulty mental wiring to food allergies.
Everything I've been told and read says that it takes two weeks to a month to see results from Prozac so I guess we have to be patient.
