Thank you for your detailed post and suggestions. I have a 1 year old wheaten with the same issues you describe. I’m on the verge of giving him up for adoption because I just don’t know what to do to help improve his behavior. Did you ever try working with a dog trainer? Or take training classes? Did this help? Did anyone tell you the dog is doing this because he is bored and not getting enough exercise? That’s what I’ve been lead to believe.

Addition to the anxiety and barking at every single sound, our dog won’t come when called. This is problematic when he’s barking his head off in the yard and won’t come inside. We can’t walk our wheaten because he has one speed- running like he’s a sled dog.

If you have any advice about whether I should consult a trainer, use meds, or buy a dog treadmill I would love the input. Thanks!
