I am convinced that Asia purposely taunts Riley to get him in trouble.
He is not allowed to chase the kitties. When the kitties are near him or walk by him he is to sit or lie down. He is getting better at this, but when he's excited sometimes he forgets his newly learned manners. This is when Asia will dart back and forth in front of him, baiting him, waiting for him to get yelled at when he starts to chase. She will also sometimes walk passed him just to swear at him and throw a shadow paw. That's when Asia gets yelled at, so she doesn't really do this too often... mostly when she thinks no one is watching her.
Zoe is doing better. She came down tonight and sat on the ground in front of me, though she still would not sit in my lap if Riley was near. She's also walking in front of him more and more. This is SO good, because since Asia is always around he's becoming more desensitized towards her. But Zoe he hasn't seen as much as, so he still tries to chase her a lot when he first sees her. But today she was around so much that we were able to work on this.
So it seems that time is the key, as everyone always says. One day at a time.
