Finally, some real advice.I was sick of hearing " feed them on opposite sides of the door." I dont know who came up with that advice but they apparently they dont have a pitbull and two stubborn cats.I cant wait to implement all of this. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, i am so grateful.

Angela. One of the best videos I've seen regarding cats and dogs living together. Clear, concise instructions with summary. The only thing that would make this a better video is time stamps for when you want to re-watch a particular section. Thankyou so much for all your hard work. I now feel that I have a solid plan of action to follow. Fingers crossed for a happy ever after.

a stunt double cat, holy fuck shes a genius

Of all the hours of dog training and dog training videos I have watched, I always come back to this one. You have stellar training technique and you explain everything with calm clarity and simplicity that really gets your point across. I use this video to refresh and check-in with my training technique with my very excitable shepherd. Thank you for making this video. Ever think of making more videos?

Thanks for the EXCELLENT 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?

This video is absolutely brilliant. The principles of behaviour modification as explained here can be applied to many situations. There is a huge amount of information in this video. Thank you Angela

Thank you so much, I know it's an old video but we got a rescue puppy and were wondering how to break her of her chasing habits. This helps a lot!

This dog is adorable so this certainly helps. I got a stray rescue dog a week ago. The dog was born and self-raised in the mountains by herself for the first 4 months of her life, then she was rescued and vaccinated, neutered and sheltered for another 6 months until picked her up. She was of course terrified when she arrived home so she stayed in that baby park for the whole week, she didn't eat or drink or peed or pooed the first 3 days and then ate an drank on the fourth and peed and pooed on the night of the fourth when i took her out for a walk (which she categorically refused the previous days). I have another dog and she accepted it immediately (they both accepted each other), but then today i introduced her to my two cats and she went from nice dog who walked peacefully with my other dog and ate from my hands and licked my hands to a werewolf in 1 second. If the baby park wasn't there and her locked inside, i am fairly certain she would have eaten the cats alive. Never seen such a radical change in personality. This dog here seems to come from a breeder or maybe a pet shop and must have been socialized her entire life, but my dog is basically a former wild dog who must have had to catch and kill her prey for the first few months of her life because nobody was feeding her in the mountains. So now i am stuck with the dilemma of, do i keep the dog and see what happens with the cats using a dog trainer like this guy, or do i give her back before it is too late to let her be adopted by a family without cats. I feel like an A hole if i give her back because she is starting to get used to us, and i feel extremely selfish and self-indulgent if i keep her because this could put my cats at risk and maybe this dog will never be truly happy if she is constantly triggered by my cats. My cats like to chase birds and butterflies and whatever moves around them , and i know that if i had a pet bird, this bird would never be safe, so i feel the same about my cats regarding this new dog. It is so frustrating not to know what is best for the dogs and cats. Personally i really don't care spending 3 years to educate my new dog, but i can't put my cats at risk and under constant stress either and although i have a house with 2 floors and 7 rooms, (just for myself and the pets) i can't forever keep the dog and cats apart, cats are smart and sneaky and they will find a way to interact with the dog and i suspect dogs will find a way too and i can't possibly keep this dog forever in a baby park, so it feels like a catastrophe just waiting to happen sooner or later. What do you guys think, should i try or should i give the dog back (there is no way my cats are going anywhere, they are old cats over 18 years old whom i have had just as long and they only know me and my house and this life and they are literally my kids. But i haven't really gotten to know the dog yet and although i already like her immensely, it wouldn't be unbearable to give her the chance to be adopted by a more appropriate family.

This is such a HUGE HELP! Thank you ❤️

So basically anything and everything "sparkles" triggers the dog lol yep, sounds like my dog....she has an insane prey drive

Thanks! My dog always chased my cat as if she was a prey animal but this video totally stopped it

"Good Decision"😍! This was so much help

That may be my missing piece in training my Australian cattle dog to not chase my cat :). I am so excited! I will be working on his triggers that make him hyperventilate and look for the cat in all possible places.

Hi, your video is great!! Just wondering where u got the fake sparkles from? I'm struggling to find one as realistic looking! I am UK based. Recently rehomed a staffie who is reactive around the cat. Keeping them separate with controlled introductions but as highlighted in the video very difficult to increase distance due to layout of house.

Brilliant thank you very much🌹🐾❤️

This is a really great video, probably the best I have seen on this matter. I have two dogs one is 1 and other 2. They are both highly triggered by the sound, smell and even just a sense that the cat may be there. It is very ingrained. Do you think, using your method, I will be able to stop the chase instinct? Or do you think it is too habitual by now? Great video, i'm going to try your methods, but am worried that the dogs are too far gone.

This is a great video. I have re homed a border collie who is very fearful of our two cats. Of you have any advice that would be great. She hides behinds chairs and cannot seem to relax around them unless they are still and asleep. Thanks!

Our puppy (7 months old mini Australian Labradoodle whom we have had since she was 8 weeks old will happily chill with one of our cats for hours but when he gets up to move she chases. The cat also seeks the dog out and in fact is happy to groom her when she approaches calmly, but will swipe and bite If the dog gets too much. He has escape routes but likes being in the room that the dog is confined too through a baby gate. The other room he could be in he doesn’t want to spent time in and we can’t logistically have the dog elsewhere as our only other downstairs room is our other cat’s safe haven from both the dog and the other cat. Our house is long and narrow so essentially all rooms are thoroughfare. Do we need to physically separate the dog and the cat although 80% of the time there is no issue to be able to get the chasing under control? I won’t lie it is quite exhausting keeping all the animals separated from each other.

excellent training tips. Better than the one I’ve just watch using a pen electric collar…😡

you’re quite literally rewarding for fixating , you need to correct the fixation and stop it, not shove treats in their face.

what a suprise 😂 BorderCollie. i have 2 BC mixs

The stuffed double was such a great idea!! My problem isn't really the dog as he's fine with my cat "Bluey" who is quite blind, an doens't hiss spit or run, but doens't get along with Shady, Tiger or Simba who tend to , hunch up, hiss, flare up the tail and then RUN. How do you train the cat?

If I'm consistent and successful with this, in time can will it hold without me being on guard without turning my back? Will the dog need crated for life? The dog doesn't act aggressive towards the cats, just interested, but with prey drive towards squirrels, etc, I don't know what would happen if she caught something.

My German shepherd is 1 years old so she’s still a puppy and the cat’s trigger her by calling there names or holding/petting them and is they hiss or growl at her

My question is, how do I get my cat to stop chasing my dog 😫

I'm having this issue with my parents dog he has been around the cat since he was a puppy made the mistake by chasing my cat into my room playing with her and the dog now copies me any advice.

Thanks. This is the best video I've watched on this subject. :)

Her dog is sooo pretty!!!!!

still a great video lol. my dog loves my cats a little bit too much

My pug love chasing chicken. Once he get by chicken, the chicken doesn't scare of him and chasing him so my dog got scare and ran away because chicken chase him back.

I have an issue only with chasing them outside. This has to be fixable

What about if your cats and dog live outside and the dog is a chow with a desire to not just chase, but to kill?

I just got a 6 month old staffordshire bull terrier boy. I already have a 2 year OLd cat home, and my dog actually really Wanna kill me cat, not only chase or bark, but kill my cat! How Can i learn my dog to only Play with my cat? Pls help

If the cat live in my house I think my puppy german shepherd run away or find a hiding place. She scare of cat.

My dog thinks He is a cat! lol I have 4 indoor cats and 1 out door cat.

Hi

i dont like all that food trainings ...

Wow complicate much?

this training is so stupid and useless and gives false expectations and causes tragedies

Please don’t follow any of this advice.. simply.. ineffective

those clickers are for killer whales and dolphins, what the hell ? thats the worst way to train a dog , the prong collar is the only way .

My dog was clawed in the face from a cat and ever since that it's kill mode on all cats. He goes nuts.
