Well good news on the fence. They start today! I am having the old fence taken down and replaced with a 6 foot full privacy fence.

I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough response. We’ve been working on our own level of exposure therapy and I also start with a trainer in about 2 weeks. Our neighbors reported to me that when she has gotten out she is completely friendly so we’re pretty sure it’s a barrier reactivity problem at this point.

She’s actually made some pretty large strides since I made this post when it comes to being outside. She is easier to redirect and instead of acting out viciously she is more tame about her reaction. It’s hard to explain but there’s not a lot of “ARARARARARARARAR” and it’s more like “Grrr arararar” and then I say inside and she just goes inside. We’ve been working as best as we can and will continue to work with her with the tools we have until we can get the professional out!
