Hi Jan & Martha & welcome.....some good advice that's been given to you, but don't expect it to happen quickly, after all she's an Akita!!

.....I've had the same problem with Maya ever since I adopted her 2 years ago

...oh yes!!....some days she's good & I think I've cracked it & then it's back to square one!!

sometimes she wants to play with the other dog, but sometimes she wants to get at them

....luckily I can hold onto her(need all my strength tho'!!).....Martha is getting older so she won't take too long to calm down when she sees the other dogs ....hope all goes well for you both

......Pam Maya & Scoobie
