Initially Spotty would get angry and growl at Luna even when Luna drank from her own water bowl. That is how crazy it was at home. Anywho, now they sleep in the same bed. They are okay sharing the same water bowl. They walk together (although they don't understand when to wait when the other is eliminating). They sometimes even play which brings me immense joy. I am very glad to hear your two dogs are doing better and getting more along now. It sounds like they needed some adjustment period to get acquainted and once they got things sorted out, they were able to find a mutual agreement and now can co-habitate tolerating each other. I am sure it must feel very good to see them sleep and play. Here's where I am stuck. I live in a very busy city. Like even the smaller narrower lanes have vehicles coming both the ways and with them my ears and eyes are all super alert at every walk. Partly because both don't seem to understand or follow anything in all that chaos. I mean Spotty like you know doesn't obey any cues outdoors. And Luna who does listen to heel and attention heel outdoors is way too distracted upon seeing a person whose vibe either she likes (so goes running to them) or hates (starts lunging and aggressively barking), or vehicles she doesn't like (she will with all her force move past me hence always almost tripping me over and lunging at a fast moving vehicle). It's scary and really breaking my shoulder now. Both do the same lunging and running at cats and rats. And as usual it takes all my strength to either keep them put or pull them back if they've successfully taken me ahead with them. Either way walks have become more and more difficult. And nothing seems to fix this situation. Maybe I haven't tried the right things. I don't know. Also, Spotty who reacts upon seeing any dog is also troublesome now because Luna is learning from her. And both team up against each and every dog. See, few streeties around our area are themselves pretty agressive and we anyway take a sharp u-turn when that's the case. But there are times when the dogs are docile and just minding their business and Spotty will start barking and lunging at the dog. I really understand your situation. Many years ago, when my dogs were younger I was really trying hard to walk them together. I was really determined and believed that if I equipped myself with big willpower I would have achieved anything including walking them together. Well, I was wrong and was just setting myself for failure. Two large and not fully trained dogs and one petite woman is not a good match. Yes, it's true, training dogs is more about using your brain than relying on strength, but I was doing things backwards. Only once I started walking them one at a time was I able to see progress. Each dog received the individualized attention they needed and I was able to work on many levels I couldn't tackle before. Only after lots of practice one-by-one, was I able to see improvements on their walks. Also, using a front-attachment harness helped a lot. A front -attachment harness (e.g. the Sensation harness, the Easy Walk harness, the Walk your dog with love harness) made a world on difference along with training each dog individually and doing lots of reps of attention heeling in presence of distractions and Look at that exercises. I am trying this new thing where I instantly turn around when either of them resxt badly towards a dog. We walk a little away and then come back in the direction if the other dog. Walk till either of them react again. I say no and once again turn around. We keep doing thsi again and again till I feel there's some decrement in their growls. I don't know if I should continue this or not. The improvement isn't a lot. But it's not even been that many days. This sounds similar to the emergency u-turn: https://www.braintraining4dogs.com/members/archive/emergency-u-turn/ There are several benefits, the biggest being it that if you do it in a timely matter, you prevent rehearsal of the barking and lunging. The more a dog rehearses a problematic behavior, the more it puts root. It's a good management strategy for those times when a dog is coming your way and you aren't prepared for working on the issue. Luna wants to pee a lot. It was a lot more when she was on Predni (medicine for Lymphoma) and I think now that's become a habit. She sometimes takes me down as much as eight times. She's quite handful that way. So, that's one more thing I wanted to know is there way for me to maybe reduce her eight to ten walks. We don't have a lift and taking stairs so many times kills me. And there are literally the times when she takes me down for nothing at all. So, then I figured she is bored. So I started playing with her. But nothing. But since the training or at least since we've been training a lot more, her walks have decreased by one and sometimes two. Interesting how being on the prednisone may have made peeing a habit! If she is off this drug, it could very likely be that she just wants to spend time outside or just un-learned to hold it for long. However, always best to make sure she isn't suffering from a urinary tract infection so I would mention it to the vet. It could also be she is urine marking rather than really peeing. Does she produce a large amount? is she spayed? She also does this weird thing where she gets all agitated and barks at me when my leg moves while sleeping. They both sleep on my bed. And don't like sleeping anywhere else. Spotty besides me and Luna besides my legs. But she gets very angry when legs move naturally. So, now I subconsciously don't move my leg sometimes all night. Subconsciously not moving your leg at night to not upset your dog, must take quite some effort. That's very nice of you. It sounds like your dog has a strong startle response from being awakened by your leg movement. Generally, in an ideal situation, we expect a dog awakened by the owner accidentally brushing against his fur to care less about it or wake up, lift her head and look around and go back to sleep. Some dogs may lightly startle upon being woken up, but their startle responses don't involve aggression. The dog may perhaps yawn (not because he's tired but more because he got startled) and then go back to sleep. And then some dogs like yours may act grumpy when awakened from napping, and any touch may evoke an episode of growling or snarling. While these latter dogs may "use their words," there is always a risk for escalation and a potential bite. Now, something worth precising is that, just because some dogs react this way, doesn't necessarily mean that they are aggressive dogs. These dogs may be wonderful, sweet dogs when awake. It's just that they may react out of confusion sometimes. Many of these sweet dogs act almost confused and then apologetic once they realize they are in familiar surroundings with their loving owners. This form of startle response may be due to behavioral issues but may also stem from medical and neurological issues, and therefore, requires a close evaluation by a veterinarian and/or veterinary behaviorist. The safest option of course in the meanwhile would be sleeping in a separated area. Also considering that excessive wakening up startled may create a vicious cycle of the dog being tense, relaxing enough to sleep, being tense etc. which may impact the dog's quality of sleep and may trigger a worsening reaction over time. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance or want me to go more in depth on something and we can do more troubleshooting. Please keep me posted on how things go. Happy training!
