    As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

      He is a year and a half now. The three female cats stay up and away from him.
      My girl can’t stand him! She always gives him the evil eye and won’t come upstairs in my room anymore. Our shy girl is still very curious, yet cautious and mainly stays away. My daughters female isn’t fazed by him at all. But she as well just stays up and away. Now my boy he still thinks he runs the house so he will come around and if my pup is to hyper he just jumps up high so he can’t get him but teases him. My senior dog plays with him but if he doesn’t want to be bothered he just stays away. My pup still thinks he is my only child lol he chases them all off my bed but he is calming down so I think their roles are still changing!

    When I brought my dog home, I just threw them both together and it was a mess! 9 months later we are finally at the point where they can be in the same room with no problems. It took constant work and research. I’m not sure why I thought they would be fine right away 🥴 this video is still helpful!!

      If you see this can you please reply how you recovered from introducing them wrong initially. I just adopted a new puppy and made the mistake of giving my cat a chance to be around her before i kept them separate ( because my cat didnt mind other dogs before ) but whenever my cat gets close she still hisses and bats, now we are keeping them totally separated. But im really worried about the fact that we failed to properly introduce them. I really dont want to get rid of either animal, so i pray we can make a peaceful home

      @@m3ll0w43 hi! The best thing we did was to correct my dog whenever he tried to play with or chase the cat. He eventually learned not to mess with her. We actually brought home a new kitten last week and we’re able to get a fresh start properly introducing them. Keep your pets separated for a while. The best thing we did was put up a baby gate so they could see and sniff but not interact. It can take 3+ months for animals to adjust to being in the same house. Hopefully they will adjust to being around each other!

    We have a stray dog - Vet checked already for a chip - no chip. My Husband was backing out of the driveway when he saw a dog sitting at the end of the driveway - he stopped, got out - did not see any dog, but when he was getting back in the car the dog was laying on the floor of the front seat. Since she is in heat she is safe in our fenced in front yard (we live in SW Arizona & have Coyotes, stray dogs who run away when they see us & stray cats on occasion).She is in heat about a year old and hyper active. We have eight cats 7 to 10 years old - set in their ways. The cats are in the Master bedroom connected to the master bath connected to the Laundry room - so they have 3 rooms - but are extremely unhappy. This dog (Lexi) is medium sized - looks like Border Collie mixed with Husky because of the blue eyes & curled tail over her back. She wants to get to the cats but too hyper for them to accept. We will be getting a muzzle today for safety sake for both cats & dog. Have been working on early training methods like sit, stay, etc. As soon as we can control this hyper activity embedded in this dog then we can proceed with introducing the cats. She has learned to return the ball (which took a few days) when we throw it for exercise. She loves it. She has stopped peeing in the house & does ask to go out when she has to go. We have a notice out with a picture at our local Animal group based on Facebook. No one has come forth yet about losing this dog. Our area is known for being a dumping ground for dogs & cats that people do not want anymore. So we are working on her training & obedience even though my Husband keeps mentioning "maybe we should contact Animal Control" & my reply is "NO - we need to give her at least a month to adjust to our home & cats & obedience training first". Besides all the rescues & Animal Control are so full now because of people not wanting their animals. It is so sad. We have an appointment Dec.16th for her to be spayed with all shots. So, the cats will have to learn to be more patient for their own safety. Judi

I have 2 adult cats and we adopted them 7 years ago it was something my parents got for my mental health at the time I was 16 now I'm 21 and I have loved those cats as my children, this year my parents announced they would like a puppy the same breed as yours and I was very hesitant if the cats would get used to the presence of a puppy! But your video is so informative and has so many concise bits that makes the info easy to absorb! I feel much more confident in welcoming home a new bundle of joy and now my anxiety has turned into excitement! I want to thank u for making this video and please keep makjng these awesome videos!

    Thank you so much Rachel that is invaluable. We have three cats who are our babies and we are bringing a puppy into our home after Christmas. I watched your other video on introducing a puppy too a cat, which was great (and actually how I found your channel) but this one is also superb, as one of my cats is very skittish and nervous. I just want to try and make this a positive experience for all of them and for our cats to know our home is still their safe space. We have a dedicated room upstairs which is the cats room and have already installed stair gates at the top and bottom of the stairs (the cats will have the whole top level as their safe space as they spend most of the day up there and it is where their room is located) and set up the crate etc and I have a few blankets for the puppy which the cats are currently sleeping on to help with scent swapping in the early days. Thanks again, your videos have been a life saver as we prepare for our pup. Sarah x

      @@amandaramirez5295 We are about a month in now and it gets better everyday! My cat has been around dogs before and even puppies, but not puppies bigger than him. The puppy loves him but can sometimes be too rough so I really work with her on 'leave it' or keep her leash on in case I need to pull her away. He also tells her when he has had enough which is important. My cat also has free range to most of the house while the puppy only has kitchen and living room access. I have a standing pet gate up (purchased from Homegoods) which I leave ajar for the cat to wander in and out of those areas as he pleases.
      I do feel like I'm stretched a little more but I make time to cuddle him and play with him while she is in her crate and in the mornings/night. The puppy just started official training so I hope as she calms down, my cat will feel more comfortable and we can all hangout.

    - Have safe spaces for the cats where the dog CANNOT go. After a while swap safe spaces to get scents. 3-5 days
    - Teach TOUCH command (to get cat to come to hand) to get them away from chasing cats
    - let cat smell puppy on you on objects same with dog smelling cat
    - let them sniff and see each through door if the dog is too excited about the cat at the other side of door keep training touch
    - walk through the house on lead walk past the cats door and give them treats so they give you the attention and you become more exciting than the cats
    - keep opening the crack of the door more
    - when the dog does not care about the cats block the door from the dog but make it available for the cats to come out when ready.
    - Make sure the dog has had mental and physical exercise so they are not crazy for the cats
    - high value treats if the dog responds to touch or if they look at you and not the cat

      Yes it is it just might take more time and practice but with the right attitude anything is possible. I suggest keeping treats in the living room and during ad brakes you can do some training. But I am not professional that is just what has worked for me

Gracey seems almost depressed as I am paying more attention to Raven who is adjusting to our home. I am worried Gracey is going to resent me and we have such a strong bon. our chihuahua wants nothing to do with kitty Raven. yikes! I need a cat psychologist.

    Question: Right now, one of our major safe spaces for our cats is our bedroom. Where would I put the puppy, if we were crate training? I was under the impression that I would want to put the puppy near me, so I can listen in case they needed to go outside during the night. Or does that not become a major issue - just make sure they're getting out plenty during the day and hopefully they sleep through the night?

    • @user-hy8bt3tp7u
      @user-hy8bt3tp7u 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Take them out once every . Don’t give them any water or food 2-3 hours before bed. Take them out right before they sleep and you should only have to wake up once thru out the night to take them out.

Our puppy is rather aggressive and seems to be like what u described of wanting toy play aggressively with the cat. Our cat seems to be constantly stressed around her and the only safe space we have is my room. I really don’t know what I should do since they have already meet

    So ... What do I do at night? My cat always sleeps on the bed with me, so I don't want to just block him out and make him associate the puppy with negative things (i.e., I don't get to have my usual resources when puppy is around). But I also want to keep the puppy near the bed so that I can crate train, potty train, and help comfort him during the night. How do I reconcile those competing issues?

    • @shiko3394

When to acknowledge that maybe our cats just aren't gonna adjust to dog? I feel bad that everyone is just going back and forth in gates without a lot of progress. Maybe too much visual through gate...?

    I know this doesn't apply but I wondered if you can tell me how I can get my older cat to stop peeing on my bed. He is actually doing it while I am sleeping. He has lost his life long cat friend who was recently put to sleep and I was caring for my son's dog for a long time until he could get an apartment that would accept dogs, so now he is very alone. I work all day and not sure I should get another dog and I really don't want another cat. If you have any suggestions. I am not allowing him in the bedroom while I am out, but since he is now alone, he is so needy and wants to be around me all the time, so I been letting him sleep with me. But I can't keep washing sheets. Please any suggestions?

    Can someone give me advice? My new dog is already very well behaved and pays no attention to the cats. But our apartment is tiny basically one room and a kitchen ( which is also tiny like a few feet only) . But the cats are s really skittish and freak out at any sound of movement even if the dog gets up to drink they bolt and are terrified. Like the dog cannot do any batter she ingores them completely unless approached and even the is very calm and waits. But the cats are terrified of her move at all even if it's on the other side of the room.

    Huge thanks for methods of introducing my new puppy, Circe, to Major the cat ! Unfortunately, I was advised to just let them meet on day 1 and they'll sort it out. Good news: even though Major weighs only 10# and Circe is coming up on 20#, Major has total control; Bad news: the more victories Major scores, the more determined Circe becomes in pursuing him … now I'll be going back to square 1-getting Circe to focus on me. She's 17 weeks old and very stubborn. Are you familiar with the Koehler Method ? I've used parts of it with great success and parts … not so much !
