I love how there was no yelling! 😂 Thanks a ton for the video and I hope it the dog I was searching this for! I wanna thank the algarithm too....Seems I can never just watch just ONE video though😒

Thank you so much for showing a dog on Day 1. I was getting quite disheartened by all the training videos that show grinning trainers and coached dogs in green open fields and Oh This Is Just So Easy. My current project behaves almost exactly like Ludo, in regards to excitement level (even a bit calmer!) It gives me a lot of hope that I can overcome this. I will be watching more of your videos, and starting cat and chicken specific training first thing tomorrow!

Thank you so much for this video. I adopted a dog who is overly excited to chase/play with my cats. I am living two lives in the house right now, and I want to do this right.

Thanks so much for posting this video. I wanted to let you know what a big help it was when we brought our new dog home and she proceeded to chase our 2 cats. After about a month of working with the dog and cats they can now all be in the same room together without a ruckus! My husband and are so excited by their progress. Thank you!

I adopted a dog (2.5 yr old pitbull) 3 months ago who was described as having a potentially high prey drive. She was adopted and returned to the shelter 24 hrs later by someone who had a cat (which I saw as overly impatient). The shelter then said she should not go to a home with a cat. I liked her personality a lot (sweet, relaxed) so I did some research. After a consultation with an animal behavioralist at the shelter and seeing her calmly meet a kitten there, I decided to adopt her. As expected, she got overly excited with my 11-year old kitty, but she's very mellow the rest of the time. I have been taking a patient approach the last few months, with regular correction and rewards, trying to make sure they see each other for a period (safely) each day, and hoping that my dog will eventually desensitize. It's not moving along very quickly and sometimes feels like we are moving backwards. I go back and forth between feeling optimistic ("we can do this!") and feeling like I have created a situation where I will be "living two lives" (as A Coronado said) forever. Although I love hanging out with each of them separately (my dog when we're out on walks and the kitty during bedtime or when doggy is in the yard), I can't relax when they are in the same room. It's been a very expensive 3 months as well, with the home adjustments to keep them separate during the day, dog walker, and all the other expenses of a dog (that cat owners might never think of). I'm frustrated and tired, and worried that this is the permanent situation I've created for myself and both my furry kids. I never plan to leave my dog alone with my cat, but want to get to a point where she can be unrestrained while I am home. Thanks, I needed to vent a little and I do feel better after reading about others who faced this and found a way. I am thinking I need to get a 2nd crate (this one for the kitty) and be more aggressive with the training. Alyssa Rose, I would love any suggestions you might have.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you so much! I have a foster dog, who I want to keep, but I’ve been separating him from the cat bc he’s waaaay too interested. I will try this immediately! I bet it would also help to take the dog for a walk or tire them out before starting training so the dog is calmer.

omg it took a year but i found this and it worked

I'm glad your dogs behavior is similar to mine, that's comforting

People who think pit bull are violent in nature just dont understand dogs. The behavior of the Dog is given by the master. even when the owner fails to be the master, it's the owner/master's fault. I have been looking at all these dog and cat training videos because someone got a cat early in a relationship and now does not have a house for her and her cat so she came back home and now we have to deal with training a old dog to a cat, and the hardest part for me is making that person understand that we are not in a Disney movie and it will take time and patience to train the dog to get used to a new animal, specially when we let out dog scare away small animals who might nest in our yard and destroy our garden

3 minutes? Took my dog 6 hours to calm down

As for the cat! It's all about your "conditioned emotional response" - routinely feeding the cat in the presence of the dog will help change her physiology over time. Will the cat ever be calm or curious enough to approach and sniff the dog? Hard to say. Depends on the temperament, genetics, early socialization and last (but not least) the consistency of your conditioning program. Thanks for watching my video!

My German shepherd was the first to chase the cat but she calmed down and was laying on my bed then the cat came and attacked her lmao. I’m getting a kitten so this video is very helpful, thank you!

I need this video more now than ever. Just adopted a dog, own 3 cats. 🐶😸✌️

Why am I watching this I don't even own a cat.

My dogs a pitbull too so it’s reassuring to know that even with her impulsive behavior, it can be managed.

We have 4 cats and just adopted a 7 year old sweet Pitt bull mix. This is a helpful video.

This is very helpful, thank you. I have been doing something similar but not using food and I had the cat up high. My dog is at the point of the "leave it" command and usually responsive. I think I need to dedicate more time to this.

This is the best video I have seen so far. Thank you for making it.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It does give me hope to keep training my dog. I am adopting a cat soon but am worried my dog won’t react well. He is an 11 year old intact beagle mix. (My dad refuses to have him neutered) despite that, my dog is very smart and picks up things quickly. I believe he will eventually get used to the cat’s presence, to the point where he will enjoy her company. He is laid back and relaxed most of the time. Never greets people by jumping on them, etc. Although he doesn’t like kids. I am planning to contact you if I do have trouble though. Thanks for the video!

Hello all😃, well my daughter is moving in with me and my female 24 months old GSD. My daughter,5 yr old granddaughter and 😸. I have to socialize my dog with the cat and the 5 year old granddaughter, first is the cat just have big time anxiety but watching these videos is helping. This weekend is the start and man my stomach is in knots😥😨😳😱

I hope you encouraged Ludo's owners to get the dog fixed. There are too many homeless dogs, and the dogs that get put down the most are the larger dogs. But your advice on how to help the cat and the dog are very good. Thanks.

I like how you expained that desensitizing goes first and after that comes operant conditioning. I'd probably mix both together and would get nowhere.

Thank you, this was excellent. We adopted a young, highly excitable dog a year ago and would like to add a cat to our family. He has not done well around cats we have had in the house for a night or two (emergency rescue) so I really need to do the introductions right.

This is super helpful. Your boy seems energetic just like mine, we’ve a staffy and 2 cats we have to introduce him to

Thank you so much! I hope this will work. My dog is the exact same as yours so hyper in any presence of an animal . My cat had traumatic experience with my aunties dog , since then she is petrified . My cat knows that the dog lives in the house now. Doesnt run away when he is barking at her when she is at the window in my room. But once he is in my room she goes all panic mode , she starts hissing and barely makes any movement, my sisters dog he gets all excited to see her and tries to smell her But once he is too close he gets scratched and then he gets in an defensive mode, his fur prickles up. And anytime he sees her , when she runs he chases after her. I didnt know at the time about using positive reinforcement in these situations so I always shouted at him when he chased her. Luckily we have an cat carrier , i will try your method and hope to God it works ! I will do this in the morning and afternoon when feeding time comes . Thank you so much!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My dog is JUST like Ludo, which is great because in all other videos I’ve watched they used an already calm dog or one that’s so small it wouldn’t hurt the cat. We'll be getting a preferably young kitty in the summer, and I think my dog will behave in almost exactly the same way Ludo did. Hopefully this will work 😬🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi Victor! Systematic desensitization and counter-conditioning is a long process, when done properly it is no longer about the food, the food is a tool to change the dog's physiological response to the cat. The goal is to lower the dog's arousal level sufficiently that the dog will yield to the cat. Prong collars are tricky. I personally don't recommend them to clients in order to counter-act predatory impulses because *if used incorrectly the collar could effectively fuel the dog's prey drive.

Thank you it was impossible tryin to find a video that matched my dogs energy and especially breed

Great video! Your technique is basically confirming that what we're doing is right. Got a 12 week old kitten about 1,5 week ago and she's very curious but a bit fast at reacting triggered (hissing and getting tense) if the dog (white swiss shepherd) gets too close. The thing is that our dog from earlier encounters with cats has understood that she should stay away from them. Up until now she's been good at staying away from cats and have had a great respect around them (even when beeing unleashed around them). She's been frigtened by them a couple of times, and whines a little when they're close but walks away from them by choice. So we thought that getting a kitten wouldn't be a problem. But when we got the kitten it kind of turned. Maybe it has to do with the fact that a cat came into her home and not the other way around. We did try in the beginning to let them greet each other (with her on a leash) and the cat freely on the floor (free to hide behind the couch if she wanted to), just to see how they reacted. We just didn't expect the kitten to be so brave that she dared to jump toward the dog and hiss. All of a sudden the dog reacted as if the kitten attacked her and jumped after the cat while growling. Then we realised that it wouldn't be as simple as we had expected. Ever since our dog was little we have trained with positive reinforcement (taking classes and continued this type of every day training), calmness and such. She's 2 years old soon. So she usually listens to us very nicely and it hasn't been that hard to redirect her focus when she focuses on things that gets her excited. I would say that she easily fits into the group of dogs that gets "hyper-excited" about certain things. Loves play and treats and is very social with other dogs and humans. Seems like she just has a very hard time overcoming that the cat isn't behaving like a dog. I can see how this is just one of those things that we need to overcome with a lot of calmness training and redirecting focus in the presence of the cat. But I just can't help wondering how long it will take, and if they will ever be able to be around each other without jumping at each other. The cat it getting more and more playful day by day (I guess this is just the worst "playful kitten phase" we have to get through), so training with keeping the cat calm is difficult. The dog is doing amazing...up until the cat makes a move that triggers her to react. I', not sure what kind of help I'm looking for (since I feel that we are doing your type of training already) , or if I just need some comforting words that it will get better xD

the first helpful video I’ve found, thank you!

Great video . Good teaching . Ludo and Snoop are great names .

Your puppy was just overexcited to meet his new friend, patience is key with introducing any animal to the pack, my dog was raised with cats when he was a baby so he just walks up to them and licks them but kittens can freak out so I've decided to introduce my new kitten very slowly with the steps from your video. After the second day the kitten is less stressed and not too interested in the dogs barking or making noise, she is still a bit sketchy though, few more days and she should be cool with them and start to accept them as her family

Thank you so much for this video, We just got a 1 year old great dane and he is lovely, but terrible around other animals, we accidentally came across another dog while on a walk and he pulled me right off my feet! And the poor cat :( she is an abandoned rescue and extremely social and affectionate, and now we have found out she is also extremely terrified of dogs. I'm so sad for her. She no longer gets the affection she loves because she is almost always in hiding :( I am going to get her a crate and work on these techniques. thank you

We have two dogs inside the house, the other one does not attack the cat nor bother it if the other dog is not around. What we did when we brought in our kitten: 1. We seperated the dogs from the kitten we made sure to give the kitten her very own safe space, a room where dogs can’t get it. We started playing with the dogs then the kitten in their own seperate spaces to get the, used to each others smell, as much as we can. 2. We then gave the kitten a cloth our dogs use to let her get used to their scent. 3. The kitten started crying from her room and wanting to get out, so she started to wander around the room without the dog because we know that one of our dog is still too hyperactive regarding the kitten. 4. We have also reinforced training for 5 minutes in 3 sessions, morning, afternoon, evening night for the dog where we get her attention to us, to convey a message that paying attention to us rather than the kitten is a positive behavipur where, it means to leave the cat alone. 5. The training was working a bit 3 days into the training so we started Opening the door of the cat room but still putting a border so the kitten won’t be disturbed by the dog. The kitten started getting put of the room herself which where we thought she was getting more comfortable however one of our dogs still cannot leave the kitten alone where she follows the kitten and tries to carry it. The kitten would hiss then so we would seperate the two of them. We did not stop with the training at all. 4 days into the training our kitten started going to my dog herself and lets my dog lick her, (the dog who is always calm is out of the house for now, we try to train them seperate and we do not have much problem with the that dog because she’s calm and she doesn’t care much about the cat)., the kitten tried to go under our dog’s belly and my dog did not like that so she stood up and kept avoiding the kitten from going near her belly but she was not aggressive. Our dog started to be calm and quiet whenever the kitten was sleeping even if she was near her. 5 days into this relationship, my dog started to get uncomfortable withthe kitten because the kitten starting playing with her fur and trying to attack her in an attacking stance so the dog started showing her behaviour of hyperactivity again and we tried getting her attention. It was not succesful. The cat kept trying to play with our dog’s fur and biting my dog which may have been uncomfortable for my dog or thought of it as an invitation to play so our dog started following the cat once again and trying to play with her. The kitten has not hissed at all however she keeps slapping our dog when she goes near. We are trying to continue our training from step one but my dog started doing this…. 1 week(today) into the training … she goes to the kitten then to me and looking for treats, she would startbarking at me for me treats but I did not give her to not reinforce this behaviour, but she’s still doing it. However, I’ll be patient and see where it goes as this is only the first week. I still would like to know where it went wrong and what I should in these cases and what are the other things I should do or if i misunderstood something. Thank you Edit: it’s almost 2weeks and it seems that the kitten was only trying to play with my dog and my dog was not yet used to her actions so she just needed some time, they have started playing already and my dogs have stopped bothering the kitten too much which is very nice and a relief! I hope they become better friends and siblings as the kitten grows into an adult

Thanks for the video, we just got a kitten and my hyperactive morkie is SUPER excited

Thank you for this video. I just adopted a jrt mix who has no interest in any cats (outside or at the vet, etc) other than the two cats I already have. One cat is a hider, the other doesn't care. I have them in a room with a baby gate and highly monitored. He will go look at the cats and then can be called away or walks away on his own. He came to us only knowing his name, so he is in learning mode for everything. He is very smart and very obedient otherwise, so I think with patience, I can get him to ignore my cats like he ignores all other small animals out doors.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! ❤️😌

What if your puppy is barking at the cat

Thanks so much! Just got a new dog and he's over excited about everything and so my cat quickly put up his defenses! this is the first he's done this to a dog so I got a little worried.

Thank you for this!

MY DOG IS EXACTLY LIKE THIS. Thank you

Thank you for posting this. I got new puppy 6 months ago and we were making positive progress with my cat who is extremely scared of dogs that chase/bark at him. They were able to be on the same bed together (in my presence) and would take treats sitting near one another, but now after 1 bad encounter (cat swatted the puppy), all my puppy does is chase and bark and all progress between the 2 was lost. Guess I have to basically just start over like this video suggests and desensitize my pup.

We are about to undertake the same thing with our rescue german shepherd puppy. She is about 6 months and is trying anything she can to get at the cat. She is not acting aggressively, just extremely focused on seeing what the cat is. We just picked up a dog crate to help with house-training as well as allowing the cats to venture out and control the situation some.

Lol I needed this, my dog (small, black pomeranian) is a very hyper dog, shes friendly but also hyper so it comes off as aggressive but it's not shes just friendly, and this video helped a bit, now my cat doesn't run away but instead watches from a higher place, and seems to be getting closer everytime lol

Thank you for showing everything ❤🎉

Real difficulties begin when the cat is as excited to see the dog than the dog is to see the cat... I need to train both of them to be calm around each other, and find a way for them not to see each other in between training sessions... 😵🙈 Anyway, thanks for the video. It confirmed what I already knew : one step at a time, we'll get there. I just need to start training... 😅

Would you mind giving more details on how you transitioned from the cat in a carrier to having the cat move around on its own? Our pup started out like Ludo here, and we’ve gotten to the point where he is calm while the cat is still in a carrier or being held. However, the few times we’ve let the cat roam around on its own, our dog goes back into “chase mode” and lunges towards the cat. I’d like some tips on how to make that transition! Thanks for the video!

Great vid

Ill try it thank you

My mini dachshund is freaking crazy out of control 😂 I wish he would calm down around my cat

Thank you so much for this

Thankuuu for the tips and example ma'am have a good day!! Love from singapore ✨

i have a german shepherd who has a high pray drive and hes rlly strong and nothings working he just wont stay calm when it comes to the cats he gets so excited

Well done.

Hello, and thanks for the video! I just got a 9 month old Border collie/hound mix from our local shelter, and we are having this problem. How we did it was we had him go around the house on a leash to explore. The first interaction was while he was still on the leash, and they have been close enough to each other for them to touch noses. I think my cat tries to be nice by doing the little rub thing they do against him, but he gets excited very quickly and starts jumping and barking at her. We try to tell him "no" and hold him back when he does this and say good boy when he stays a little calmer, but like I said it really doesn't take long for him to get too excited, and for the cat to run off (which naturally causes the dog to chase her) and or swat and hiss at him. I'd rather not have to put the cat in a crate, because they are used to free range of the house (we have three others, lucky me...), and I don't want them to feel jealous or like we are replacing them. They use tables and furniture to look at him from a safe distance, but they still swat if he's too close and hyper. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I have 2 ,127lbs German shearers that are 5”3 when standing . They are big dogs that hate cats they chase them off our backyards all the time in a sprinting hunting manner . I’m a little scared that they can gang up on my future cat ,but I’m hoping for the best this video helps .They react like ludo did sometimes just to dogs but they warm up to them eventually. The cat I’m getting is older and is friendly with dogs so I’m hoping they can co exist

Hi Stephen! Your job will be much easier if you raise and socialize both when they are young OR if you choose adults that already have the necessary social skills. Critical socialization period is between 6 weeks and 16 weeks of age. The exposure that they receive at this time will set the stage for how they behave as adults. A lack of exposure to cats will lead to fear, predatory behavior or hyper-excitement on the dog's part. And fear or aggression on the cat's part.

That's a beautiful dog, and i love the name!

That pitbull was ready to attack the cat

I just got My dog. He’s a sweetheart but he’s a pit/American bulldog mix (we think at least lol). He has the same tense reaction to cats. I can tell hes just excited but everybody says he wants to eat them because of his breed :(. Hoping this video helps me break some bad habits

i like this

Thank you for this 😭 we we needed this like yesterday

Im going through this so this video is super insightful thanks

He probably got concussed when he hit the ground and thought his tiny hammer was a pistol.

I just got a kitten to. Every time we try showing her it she gets really excited. Then when she seems calm if I show her the kitten again she starts chattering her jaw and drooling.

I'm having problems breaking my new dogs attention as in step #2 ! The shelter I got penny from told me she was ok with cats.

I think my dog wants to kill our tiny cat like she thinks it's a squirrel.

I am going through the process and I used both positive and a prong collar to correct the aggressive behavior from my dog. I tried to use the positive reinforcement method but my dog is smart enough to know that I don't have treat around. More seriously, my dog has a high prey drive to begin with so he would go for running bike, child, squirrel, etc. After two months of positive & prong correction, he knows that the cat is the alpha in the house and behaves nicely to the cat with my existence.

I have the same dog a blue nose pitbull. She's 3 years old and freaks out when she sees another dog and my cat. It's getting increasingly stressful to have to be aware of her not being ok with my cat or not calming down. I will try these techniques. Still waiting foe my cats cage.

Thanks. I have a pitbull who is a savage and a new kitten so im gonna have fun

Thanks for the video. I'm fostering a black mouth cur that's about 2 yrs old. We adopted him out as a puppy. Fast forward 2 years....He was found as a stray & the owners wouldn't reclaim him, so he's back at our rescue. He's showing aggression. He's lunging at the dog crate i put a cat in. He's hyper focused. After working with him all day, I'm able to get him to break his stare & look at me. I've started teaching "place" "stay" "come" & he's doing really well. But I'm thinking about getting him a muzzle because I don't know if I can train that IMPULSE out of him. He bites at the cats, runs around the crate & growls. NOW I of course stop the behavior before it escalates. This breed is known as the "cat-killer" I can't imagine his owners allowing him to hurt small animals & it's a relief to know he was born in rescue, so we kind of know his history. It's just really scary how he immediately decided he wanted to bite the cats. I'm hoping getting a solid stay & leave it will help him to cohabitate BUT am I right to get him muzzle trained before he meets cats no matter how good i get his obedience?

Thank you for this video. When I originally got my dog(standard American Eskimo)I had an older cat and introducing them wasn't a problem. Belle barked n Nesta hissed and swatted at her once, they were totally fine. 2yrs ago Nesta passed away at 18yrs old. Belle is now 4 and I just got 2 kittens a week ago. Introducing them has been a slow process and she keeps barking at them, especially if they wrestle, or worse I hold one. I've put the kittens into a large dog crate for an hour or so the last few days so Belle can see n hear them in the main room while we act like it's no big deal. At this point I don't feel safe with them and the dog running freely. If you happen to read this I would appreciate any advice because I didn't think getting a cat would cause such issues with the dog. Oh one of the kitties smacked Belle through the carrier on day one but it didn't stop the nonstop barking at all.

That's good that I have one dog that's easy it's my other one who I'm having a hard time with

I realy hope this works! Im starting tomorrow so well see how it goes...

Thank you. My sweet son died suddenly. He left behind his senior cat. We were able to find - what we thought was a good home for her - nine months later, I got a phone call saying it isn't working out. The cat "attacked her dog". My little senior dog doesn't get along with cats but I'm left with no choice right now. I hate to put my dog in this situation. I'm hoping he can relax with the cat. Vise versa. I don't want her given to just anyone! She was my son's friend! So I'm picking her up tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out how to make this work. Your video gives me some hope that I won't have to re-home her again. A shelter is NOT AN OPTION! Any other suggestions to get them okay together will be much appreciated.

I have a Shih tzu pup and she wants my cat. Cat is 10. They are in the room togethern now , with dog in cage but seperated during day.. My cat hates other animals. But, i have used rescue remedy by bach flowers. I spray in air andn on hands and pet them with it before they see each other and helps a lot. Also, i put it in water. My cat gets stressed.

So im watching this because my boys (kittens) are coming home tomorrow to my girls (5 month old pups).

We have a difficult situation. We adopted a 2yr ood female GSD a month ago who had had a bad life up until then. She had been taken as a puppy to a big factory to be a guard dog. It hadn't worked out and she was being bullied and attacked by the other dogs (she has the scars to prove it) The manager eventually felt sorry for her and found us to adopt her. She is very nervous and defensive with our other dogs, but sweet and loving with people. She also learnt the house rules within a week. Now the problem... A week ago my son brought 2 6wk kittens home. They have been kept in a separate room and she is guarding the door 24/7. We tried to today to introduce one of the kittens and it didn't go well - she attacked. So here I am looking for answers. My previous GSD adopted the last kitten and they played every day, so I have no experience in this situation.

I just adopted a staffy from a rescue group. They said he was good with dogs, cats and kids. He just wants to chase my cats but he has an intense stare and holds his place if we told him then releases like a rubber band the moment we let him. How would we move forward with this?

Thank you for the video! I have a 9 month old Whippet and now a new red (known to be „braver“ then other) kitten. He is very couragous and curious. The problem is that my whippet stays pretty calm and can even look at me while the cat sits in the same room but when they are to close my pupper gets to excited, the cat scratches and spits this leads to him (the dog) being kinda offended and defensive (maybe?) and barks at him in a very excited anxious way... I am going to try your method for sure!!!

I believe that's a pit bull. I have one of those, very hyper. this will help

So, my dog is the same breed as Ludo (based in appearance) and also struggles with cats. Mine seems much more excited and hyper around cats. She doesn’t growl or bark aggressively at them… but she cries and whines excessively while trying to get to them… she would have bulldozed past me unlike Ludo did to you lol would this same technique work for her? Or is she beyond this?

yeah but what if the cats been already introduced she seems to always back away from the dog and the doggo isnt even that much larger than my cat the dog is quiet and calm so i dont really understand what her issue is. not to mention its the same thing around people too

I just brought an 8-9 week old kitten home, and my overly excitable rottie is getting hissed at by the kitten. Currently we are keeping them in separate rooms with only minimal exposure to each other. But it's only day one... I feel as though I may also need to purchase a carrier to break the kitten in. She doesn't like when he get too close.

I try to capture this when our cats are out, I’m not sure that using a kennel for our senior cat would help? He gets stressed in one. And our dog has been around the cats almost 2 months, it was going well and it’s now gone downhill. She’s also a teenager. The cats come out through the baby gate on their own all of the time, I do the ‘look at that’ training with treats on a leash, and also treat her when she’s calmer and starts to look at me. Not sure it’s going to work. In between she still gets keyed up sometimes.

This is such a great video- sharing w a few of my clients who are having cat issues! Xoxo

how many times a day should you practice this our dog is reactive but gets super excited when she sees the cat and screams and barks they've met face to face the cat stands his ground and isn't afraid and will hiss to give her warnings if she jumps a lot.

I wish I had seen this years ago. I have a 4 year old(?) female blue nose pit and a 10(?) year old male tabby. The cat was here first. When I got my dog, there were no problems because the cat basically vacated. Now he wants his house back. The pit basically ignores cats, unless the cats bolt. I work with my dog, but should I be placing more emphasis on working with my cat?

Thank you for the video, I found it very useful and going to give it a go. We've adopted a bulldog cross (probably XL bully) 2 months ago. She seems to be fixating on our rescue cat (we had her 4 years) and wanting to chase. If the cat is still and doesn't move when dog approaches, she just stands over her sniffing and sniffing and probably would stay there if we don't remove her. Sometimes she comes when called, sometimes she has to be led away. When the sun is shining and the dog is relaxing, she will ignore the cat. Other times, especially when we are all "relaxing" in front of TV with dog on sofa, when she sees the cat she goes into anxious response again. I am hoping we can overcome this as I would really hate having to ask the rescue to re-home the dog. Fingers crossed

My dog has no problem with my cat but my cat hates him I don’t know what to do

I'm always cautious with kitties its been My experience there are two basic type dogs the kind that are good around cats and the kind that are not its almost impossible to remove predilections for cats in certain breeds and most often those predilections are inherent

THANK YOU! my dog is 1 year old and we've had our cats first,they ran away when she was a puppy so its our fault they aren't socialized right, but this video looks good and its worth a shot. Please any tips we have 2 cats and a 1 year old American bully

What is the clicking sound for?

great vid, this may help me a bit.

Im glad you have a treat bag. The ideal would be NOT pushing the dog into position or holding position (I know you mention that in the description but you did a butt push at the beginning). A barrier and scent introduction only (visual blind) are all more effective ways. Cheers to room for improvement.

My dog is quiet and calm but becomes excited when the cat finally gets the courage to approach. This has then left my cat hissing and spitting and clawing and my dog frightened also, so now I don’t know what to do. Any tips anyone? (Btw I have 3 dogs and each are acting differently towards her)

When you are not training how do you control the environment? Lido in crate and dog out and then dog in crate and cat out?

That's brilliant thanks. Just 6 months of that then we can try adding a human female. Video required😂

So how many days does this take in total to get to the final results.

We brought a cat home, the dog was terrified but the cat was calm. As soon as we opened the cat'S cage, he tried to bite her! This just happened a few minutes ago and I'm really scared now. My littler dog just wants to meet them, but we're scared the cats might claw or hiss at her.
