Way to go! and... good luck. Hope you don't need the dog whisperer.

Kitty is a cutie pie and she's so lucky to have been adopted by people willing to take the time (and make the effort!) to really, truly love her. Congrats!! Have a steak, french-fry and red wine dinner to celebrate!

Give us $300 or we'll kill this puppy. What a great racket.

Oh well, she'll be fine. I'm glad I worked at the shelter and the vet and I used to have a rottweiler that I obedience trained. I can handle her little ass. Arsen has some stuff to learn- she sees him as an underling, but I think it'll all work out.

You are a glutton for punishment! If you're the alpha bitch and he's an underling, that means when he chases you around the apartment, Kitty gets in between? Or just waits and bites him on the ass?

Sounds to me like Kitty is a very, VERY lucky critter. Good luck.

Kitty is not allowed in the bedroom. She sleeps in her crate. Us alphas sleep in the bedroom. I guess Arsen will just have to restrict his chasing to the bedroom!

She was perfectly behaved at the shelter. I thought she was a highly adoptable dog until I got her home! They didn't talk me into it at all.

I'm not a glutton for punishment- she's already improving! She didn't pee in the house at all today, and she peed outside 4 times (and

twice).
She actually jumped on my leg and ran to the back door. As soon as I took her out she squatted.

I also tested the "stay" command with her- someone taught her! And she seems to be heeling on the leash, even though I never asked her to.

She adores me. She follows me around everywhere and gives me kisses. She listens perfectly to me. And she is extremely intelligent.

The main problem to work on now is reducing her agression towards Arsen and my other dog. I also have to keep her away from strangers and warn people that she'll bite!
No trips to the pet store for her- I'd have a lawsuit on my hands if a child ran up to her!
