Deni, I know you are trying. Lets keep brainstorming for/with you. Worst case, you can contact local GSD rescues and at least know if you *do* have to give him up, that someone will get him that passes inspection!

I don't know, either -- thought maybe it would help. When I mentioned to the behaviorist that the vet didn't think neutering would help much, he seemed to agree. He said it might calm him down a bit, in general, but that what he's doing is a learned behavior/habit. The only way to extinguish that is by replacing it with another behavior, etc.
And the 'in general' isn't a problem. 99% of the time, he's a great, well-behaved dog. It's not like he's hyper or anxious, or anything. He's always been vocal, but we've gotten most of it under control. It's just when I leave...
