Thanks so much; I'll give it a try.

But will have to do after he's finished "rampage" time. He seems to have this need to run wildly and bite everything is his path for about 45 minutes every morning. It starts with just playful chasing of the small dog, then turns into a "rampage"; when he gets this wild, I put the small dog inside and just follow him to let him know what is and isn't ok to bite; I do have to stay out of his way, though, because he bites my shoes, legs, etc. and "ouching" isn't working. I tried going away from him while he's "possessed" and he doesn't care and continues on being a land shark. I hope it's temporary. I've already taught him to sit and come, but he only listens after he's gotten his "devils" out; problem is by the time he's ready to learn, I'm to pooped to teach.

Here's hoping he runs out of energy soon or I get some...
