I finally started the calming ovals in the backyard (basement is too narrow). Can I just say . . . WOW! I used two chairs as the "cones". I pretended I was a monk. April stayed by my side except for 2 or 3 times where she casually went to go sniff something. NO CIRCLING OCCURRED! No pulling occurred! Granted, this was my first session, but I was really impressed. She was so calm! So thanks Jen and Kathleen! And Becca, I'll be trying your version too soon

Keep up the good work - any method that works is 90% in the dedication of the owner - and love helps too!

Isn't it awesome when something just *works*?
I did the oval shape but moved the oval along the street away from the barkers. She never calmed down completely, but she did relax enough to walk away from the dogs without trying to lunge back.
