(edit)Sorry, you'd have to know about Josie's aggression for this to make sense lol(/edit)

Yes..that is JOSIE with another dog o_O
Josie actually tried to get this dog to play!! Harley is the perfect dog to start training with Josie. Harley is a very stand-offish type of dog, so Josie didn't feel threatened at all. I honestly don't remember the last time Josie wanted to play with another dog. Josie even let me pat and give treats to Harley.
Harley's owner is a friend from flyball..she has a staffie mix and a chiu..er..I can't spell it haha. Anyway, Harley isn't the type to go running up to another dog. We thought we'd work with her and Josie (in Sarah's yard) and see if we can get them to play..:) Then, another member of my flyball team will bring her dog over. She is much bigger and more out-going. Her owner can read her REALLY good though, so we can tell if there would be a problem.
Instead of training Josie with corrections (No! That's bad, don't attack that dog!) we're trying to show her dogs are good. Josie gets a "jackpot" of special human food she LOVES if she is nice. She got lots of ham today for being so good with Harley! I want her to see dogs=food! yum!
No more pinch or negative for her.
