Kia's 4th day on the treadmill

I spent about three minutes training Kia to use the treadmill, just by emulating how Cesar Millan trained a Dalmatian to use a treadmill on one of the first season episodes of National Geographic's The Dog Whisperer. This video was taken today, on her 4th day of using the treadmill. We had hoped to teach her calm submission through the treadmill use, and while we are, it isn't making big enough changes. At any rate, the video is short but fun to watch so enjoy it!

Shelby

Hope you enjoy this cute picture of Shelby. Dogs will use anything for a pillow, won't they! On a sad note, Kia, who has lived with us for a couple of months now, has been attacking Shelby. We have worked with Kia using the methods of Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer. While we have improved Kia's behavior by becoming stronger pack leaders, we feel Kia sometimes wants to kill Shelby. Shelby is old and ailing and it is nature's way to eliminate the weak and the sick. Maybe this is why Kia has attacked Shelby but not the dogs in her foster home. Maybe it is also that Kia has bonded to me in a way she didn't to any of her foster humans.

We are considering returning Kia back to the rescue group we adopted her from, Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado. Kia and I really bonded so this will be absolutely heartbreaking for me and not easy for her either. No matter what, it isn't an easy decision. Most likely, Kia can be rehabilitated to not attack Shelby, but how long will it take and what will life be like for all of us until then? For now, Kia will be kept from having access to Shelby when I cannot closely supervise her. None of the attacks have occured when I am alert and watching, rather when I have been distracted and tired.
