We are fostering a pair of senior dogs. The female, an Australian Cattle dog, likes to pull on walks and has a hard time focusing while walking. She's distracted by almost everything. We've switched her to a harness and have done the trickle feeding, and are seeing some improvement. Are there other things we could try?

We've also noticed that she fights with her "brother" when we're out of the room. We don't know what precipitates this, as we're not there, but when we come into the room, he looks scared and she looks contrite. What's a good way to handle this?

Thanks for any insights!

Thank you for the advice! We'll try that on the walks.

As for the fights and keeping them apart, we can do that and I'll pass the information along to the organization we're fostering with. It may mean that they're placed separately. It surprises me that they fight considering they've grown up together, but maybe they've just never really liked each other all that much. They don't seem to have much affection for each other.
