This morning when we walked, the loose big pit bull was out - Ziggy stopped and looked and then I looked, and the guy held it on the porch, and Ziggy just kept walking. No fuss. And when we walked past the Rottweiler that barks viciously and is chained in the front yard, she actually laid down, as if he wasn't even there (after she looked carefully to see what was up).
At one point we walked past a vacant lot and from somewhere a black cat came roaring out to attack Ziggy, who attacked back. I was startled but kept a hold of her and we kept going - and Ziggy just like totally took it in stride. None of her freaking out behavior - just, "OH, hey, whatever, it happens."
Dude. WHATEVER, IT HAPPENS?! Where is my dog?
She did give me her normal hijinks when we approached a house - the view to the yard was blocked by big truck, etc., but a dog was barking crazy. There's never been a dog there before so we were curious, but it's also a low fence and ... we walked out in the street and Ziggy barked and danced and I calmed her down. So, she's still herself. and, she just barked at a woman walking across the street, but she did let the neighbors come home without any barking.
Who ever knows what's in this dog's brain? I sure don't. She's a mystery.
But, I think her time with Roux is helping her not be so reactive.
