So i want to first congratulate the winners! and second say thanks to all the people that has helped me.

Since then ive been working on the girls, now they both go for the ball and return it to me, Havanna ore than Sookie but we are on our way and only need to start playing outside, they got really distracted and stuff but im in baby steps here so no rush.

On the tugging they are now palying really good, again Havanna a bit more than Sookie, and again outside they pull but then go to sniff but!! at least they pay attention to the toy.

Last i know now that it was my own attitude and personal problems that were making Havanna act like a craz dog, since i was hiding my feelings and not succeding they were really nervous. Now im more relaxed and trying to get more happy and the change is awesome!

I learn my lesson and for now the most impressive change is that Havanna is not yanking my arm if she see another dog....when we get close she pulls but not agressive just excited...need to work on polite hellos but for now im happy that she dont want to kill the other dog.
They are more relaxed on the house and even if i can get them restricted in the house they are not freely roaming the house anymore....the need to be in the same room i am. Not perfect but my mom is difficult lol.

Thanks all and i will post some more now since im almost done with school!!! hugs and kisses everyone!

Hi, Milanka!

I don't do polite hellos so much .... just calm walking by. Greeting strange dogs (IMO) is not only unnecessary, but also possibly dangerous.

We just keep on marching, me calm, dogs calm, everyone calm and focused on me and not on another dog.

This is the outcome I want and work for when I'm talking about desensitizing.

I know is not neccesary but im still working on me as the high reinforcer when we go out and i can`t elude all starnge dogs i cross by, i try but sometimes is just not possible.

My work is for the girls to only have eyes for me outside, and only play with each other in the house or in controlled enviroments, but we are slowly increasing their toy and play drives toward me .
