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.
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.
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?
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
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 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.
What did you end up doing? I'm a week into a very similar scenario and idk what to do. My cats safety comes first and adopted a dog marked "cat friendly" but he is extremely focused on the cat and wants to chase. I'm so torn cuz he was in the shelter for over a month and otherwise is doing so well with my other dog and general training.
@@danapacella5832this sounds exactly like the dog we adopted two months ago after our poodle died. How did things end up for you? We ironically have a baby gate much like the one in the video but it has a little tiny door for the cats. I also use the leash often, though not as much as we did at first. I use higher value treats (which are her kibble that she loves) for when people come and go out of the front room, where she mostly stays, and when the cats are around. If she gets too excited and I can’t seem to get her to come down easily, I clip the leash on and walk her away, then try again to help her calm down as I pet and reward her for it. I watch her eyes, when they aren’t saucers or she looks at me and softens at all, I treat her with food and praise. It’s still a lot of work. I’ve been grieving our previous dog plus this new one (Ruby) is in the early part of her teenage phase. But I’m pushing through it.
@@melissajenkins9960 I've decided to keep my new pup and fully commit to the training. We are 3 weeks in and I'm already seeing a little progress. I have treat jars all over the house, ones for the dog and ones filled with kitty kibble. I was using her favorite cat treats but getting a lot was making her puke. Any instances of calm interaction results in everyone getting treats and praise. I've prioritized training "come", "leave it" and "ah ah" or "no" when he won't focus. The leash is nice but he chews through it in a second if I don't watch! I also bought a baby gate with a cat door so she has a safe space in the office which she already loved before. At night I've started alternating, one night dog gets kenneled and cat gets free reign, then next night kitty gets locked out cuz new dog likes to sleep on the bed. I've seen some real moments of hope, like kitty running by the dog and instead of immediately chasing and focusing on her, he'll look at me for direction. I do have to watch 24/7 or kennel if I'm not home but I feel like after a few months they'll both be so used to each other and it won't be exciting anymore. It is definitely a lot of work but he doesn't want to hurt her and really seems like he just wants interaction of some sort. Just trying to create lots of positive interactions, make it known that chasing is not allowed, and that kitty is just as much part of the pack. Best of luck! I know it can be stressful but I see the light at the end of the tunnel
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
When she gets old is there any chances she will leave the cats alone cuz there’s a few cats she doesn’t really bug that much but my mom outside cats she does cuz she hardly sees them
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'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.
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
Now i’m in a situasjon where my dog is calmer with my cat, but my cat don’t trust my dog yet, and only Wanna Get away from my dog, How Can i make both good friend with eachother and trust eachother AS well?
Right I always find the dog to beg every time it does something positive. I always just use good girl and a pet or use their favorite toy. I trained one of my dogs to search for targeted smells by using her ball. I found that it was actually simple to do.
@@vlogress11c81 I find it depends on the dog of course, but largely on the size and how well the training process was done (not just the human but also how the dog in turn reacted to the 'Treat Training'). Generally smaller dogs always are into the treat begging from my perspective (of course there are outliers though). For larger dogs as in the video, they are generally more receptive to treats as they can obviously eat more. But alongside that they are simply easier to manoeuvre around - it sounds incorrect, but you excite small dogs trying to leap around them especially when they are already hyper and active, thus spiralling the axiousness of the dog forwards & upwards.
by this method my dog , who went crazy seeing my cat, started to be more relaxed and even ignored the cat going 5sm close to the dog. So reinforcement works perfect on most of the dogs
Prong collars make the behavior worse! Consider this. Would you like your neck restrained and hurt with force to make you obey or would you prefer being communicated by a click to mark correct response, and treat as a calm method to communicate and reinforce the correct response? Furthermore damage occurs to a dog's lymph nodes, thyroid gland, spine, trachea and so on with choke and restraint methods. Would you strap your kid? No never right? Why hurt and choke your dog? Do your research and check Dr. Bob Bailey, animal scientist that used this method to train 15,000 different animals with a clicker for government work and later commercials. Go figure. Ditch the Prong! It's so Wrong! Reward based reinforcement with clicker to mark has been around since the 1920's.
@Sequoiah Dreams That's just it. The behavior is never extinguished out. Force free reward based training uses conditioning, behavior adjustment training. It changes her dog's response to that of calm through systematic desensitization (gradual approach to trigger with relaxation before trigger is increased). It takes more time but the results are long term. Also rewards are phased out through schedule of reinforcements (rewards). This is an excellent video. Clearly understood levels of stimulation (threshold), Triggers, (event, animal, noise that lead to reaction), Trigger stacking (stress accumulation that causes dog's action or reaction) and so much more. Reward based training is scientifically proven.
I hate that but a dog that kills a cat should be put down. Better to train them not to be this way. Unfortunately cats do bad things, obviously out of fear.

So basically anything and everything "sparkles" triggers the dog lol yep, sounds like my dog....she has an insane prey drive
Alice Darque lmaoo that's what I was thinking 😂
"Good Decision"😍! This was so much help
you’re quite literally rewarding for fixating , you need to correct the fixation and stop it, not shove treats in their face.

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?
My idea is not nice. Remove the dog however you can. Their is probably a better way.
