It is worse in the evening as there seems to be cats everywhere now that the weather has improved. She sounds as if we are trying to kill her and the number of curtain twitchers who look to see what is happening is sooo embarrasing. Even my neighbour popped her head out of the window and asked if we were all 'OK' Does anyone else have any ideas to try and stop this or are we doomed to have a keen squealing banshee on our hands. She has improved in that she no longer does this to every dog she sees. Also do any of you use a headcollar to stop pulling as she is like a little steam train even on the Stop/pull harness which has a lot of pull but no stop!!! I cant believe how strong she is for a little one and she seems to levitate over the ground :rolleyes:

Afraid I don't have a solution,think it's something we may have to live with.I don't use head collars either so can't comment on that.
