quote Chris: ignore him when............

You are right. A few weeks back when I was having so much trouble with Buddy and Abby (who was a new stray) I was yelling all the time - Abby, don't bark, don't bite Buddy, and on and on I also would tell her to not drag all the toys outside and I think this is when Buddy quit playing with the toys and started to want to stay away from Abby. Of course this made me all the more upset. So once I finally became more calm and ignored them when they were play fighting with the toys ect. They in turn started to listen to me more. I also believe that the reason Buddy got so he didn't want to play is everytime he would play with Abby I would be yelling even though it was at Abby he saw it a bad thing.
