You're wrong, a dog that age needs hard exercise. It's like having a kid and making him stay in his room all day. After awhile he'll go bonkers.

Also dogs need a lot of attention, especially young dogs. If this dog is alone a lot that will cause behavior problems.

That said make sure you don't have any nutritional deficiencies. Iodine deficiency is a random cause of nervousness.

After all of the above are fixed and if you still have the problem try melatonin tabs 3mg once a day. Melatonin calms dogs to a degree.

So you say let the dog watch debates on TV? I think Navy Vet was making a joke.
