OMG the prey drive is there with Miss Charlie! What we are doing….prong collar, on leash almost all the time. We remove the prong and leash when Charlie settles in for naps and bedtime. When I am in the room, the instant I see her stop and start “the look” (prey gaze) I immediately say...

You all are just amazing. I love that you make me think on what and how we are managing things. When I say she is tormenting the others (probably not the right word but said for lack of a better word) she will just stair them down, whether they are aware or not (sleeping vs awake) I mean her...
