[every instinct, innate and excruciatingly trained, is screaming (howling) against putting this in writing. At all. Let alone to someone he doesn't actually know.
But he needs help. And just sitting and waiting or taking on faith is not enough. And somehow, of those he's talked to so far… with his faith in the written voice, right or wrong… this person feels right.]
I am one

I suggest not locking away indefinitely. Firstly because you'll quickly get bored. I am familiar with the indefinite. Secondly, locking may prove tricky, as you never know when a door will open in your wall and deliver the unexpected.
Specificity seems to be the byword. Otherwise: whole cow when you want only the milk, and then what do you do with the cow? And so on. In your case I think this would perhaps be a little different but even so.
Think of the strongest door you can. With about a thousand locks. And behind it... the ideal werewolf landscape. I'm given to understand that is a moor of some sort. Possibly a dark forest, mountainous, coniferous.
That is an excellent idea - though still leaves the problem of knowing if/when transformation may occur -
Though I suppose if such wishing works before any door - transformation is not instantaneous, so if I practice wishing now, I increase the likelihood of being able to do so if/while feeling a spell coming on
Thank you very much for your good advice - and for listening at all
May I also suggest that, when opening doors, you concentrate on rooms that exist in safe portions of the lunar cycle. No forests lit by that troublesome silver orb. It seems as if day/night doesn't much matter from room to room so you might be able to avoid the extra hair entirely.
That being said I've not really done much but I will accept your thanks anyways. These days meeting via these devices is the best that we do. Until of course we end up locked in a cupboard together, or, you know, meeting in a forest of sweets.

Tried wishing things up yet?
