I have changed all pieces with Lion Dog moves so that they actually move like the rules say they do. However, I did not include the forward-forward-back option for any of them. This usually won't matter, but it does matter if they capture multiple contageous pieces (DV/DS/TK/BS) at once with their Lion Dog move, in which case the piece promotes to the last piece captured, but such a situation is rare enough that this might not be needed in an actual game.

However, if I figure out how to tweak the promotion code so that this is possible without breaking the existing code, I may add the forward-forward-back option for completeness.
