Every pet is different. They have different temperaments just like children. What works for one doesn't with another. No one should have to apologize for working with their pet as they see fit as long as there is no physical harm. Glad things are improving for you.

ONE INCONTINENT POODLE AND ONE YAPPER POODLE: (And why were we not warned about poodles) Is there a recall on Toy Poodles????

There was no barking while getting ready to go. I guess the last test is to put a tape recorder in the room. I was afraid that she might be a campground problem whenever we left the rig to even go outside and sit. I think she is going to do - may just keep her.
Used the vinegar solution to help with her mobbing the cats. She likes them and wants to play, but the cats don't see it that way. I am impressed with the response to the vinegar - just stops her and she turns away, but no lasting effect.

Glad it has helped, I keep a bottle around at all times, Lucy also wants to mob the cats.
It's not harmful, it has more of a startling effect, then they pay attention.
Most here know I would never suggest anything that would harm an animal in any way, but sometimes you just have to do what you gotta do.
