Jabber, we have to put a muzzle on Max (greyound) when we take him for a walk...just in case. He's attracted to small, fast moving dogs. Maybe you could muzzle Xena? Just a thought. Max can drink water and even eat food with his on, if need be.

Dianne, like I told Chatty, we do use a muzzle. Though, even with that device in place, she still acts aggressive. We do try to keep her away from other dogs. Have driven most of the other people out of the park when we walk. We have a radio active collar, which we use when she's off leash and we're walking that 1 1/2 mile stretch through the park. That's so if Xena sees deer running in front of her, we can get her back before she gets too far away. If another dog comes around, we put her back on the leash. She had two dogs, she used to play with, without incident. But a park worker drove passed in his truck, we had to collar her and stop the play. Ever since then, she's been aggressive with those two dogs. I don't know if she blames her friends for having to stop the play or what? But instead of just running and playing, she's aggressive now. WB punished her for attacking, and IMO she blames the punishment on those dogs. Who knows. But that's the long and short of it. The private behavior evaluation specialist still hasn't answered our email, as yet. I'll let you know what she advises, if we can contact her for an appointment! Thanks everyone!

Jabber, if your dog has such hunting instincts, maybe a hunter would be interested in buying her? Those kinds of dogs are asked for around here. I do strongly suggest visitng the owner and checking to see how the dogs are cared for. But I'm sure you would do that anyway. A dog should not be a stress factor. I believe JJ gave her last dog away too. Sometimes it is the best thing you can do for yourself and the animal.
