I wanted to share with everyone that Tiki is doing so much better these days; the improvements are incredible. She isn't aggressive and isn't biting hard. If she does bite, it's just a "nip."

Positive reinforcement has helped tremendously. She gets a lot of praise for "good" behavior. She is also flying better. I think these things have made the biggest difference. She has developed trust for me, has bonded even more to me, and cuddles a lot. She wants to share everything with me!

I've learned to be patient, firm, and consistent, and the rewards will be great.
