Hundreds of you guys have been requesting this video for years (4m45s)! I think you'll agree that it was worth the wait. Is your dog well behaved around your cat? Do you want to know how to grow communication with your dog?
Naturally, every dog may require a different approach, but watch as Sadie takes in this new concept of giving the family cat, Chloe, some peace and quiet.
Super awesome course th-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d ! ! We were able to easily understand and apply the instructions with our fur baby sola.
Great. But how do i train my cat to leave my dog alone?
you can train a cat with treats too, in their own frame of learning. I dont know about leaving the dog alone, but is not very difficult to make the cat tolerate the pressence of the dog even if the cat does not wanna be touched by the dog.
I have not trained anything to my cats, one of them likes the dog, other likes the dog but not to be touched by her, and the third cat tolerates the dog but does not want contact. I have taught my dog a not bad come when called using their food. there are some videos around about it.
sorry i mean i have taught my cats a not bad come when called using their food. My dog too of course.
XD
RIGHT? Lmao I have my dog trained but my cat instigates and then lashes out
Cat shields and cat trees. If your cat is aggressive twords your dogs it's because your cat feels threatened. Maybe she needs a place to get away from tge dog.
I'm looking to adopt this one dog at a local shelter, and I currently have 3 cats. Super grateful for videos like this that can help me to help the dog and cats transition smoothly to living with each other.
Hi, I'm currently in the same predicament. Want to save a 3-4 yr old Husky rescue and have 3 cats. How did you situation work out?🤞
@@marymcnaught9786 huskys have a extremely high prey drive as do German shepherd’s, I wouldn’t suggest that breed of dog
My dog loves cats, he just wants to play with them and my cat just isn’t having it. She never wants to play with him.
that's awful, its almost as if your cat was a ...
CAT!
It's the opposite. cats love Dogs. Dogs despise cats
@@prehistoriccreature1800 explain this.. My dog has been biting, scratching and hurting my cat likr biting his eyes and head
same
@@prehistoriccreature1800 In all my years of having cats and dogs it's always been the cats hating the dogs lol
We've had a puppy for 2 weeks, out cat we've had for 6 years. Our cat is very patient but the puppy is driving him crazy and is crazy!!
Same problem. What happened in your situation ?
Saaaaame herrrre............ my cat is a Himalayan and he ca take ANYTHING....... my other cats will kick Charlis ass of she tried doing the stuff she does to my cat artie.... omg..... I really hope these techniques work...
Thanks for explaining the difference between an old cat and a puppy, big preesh
I’m sure almost everyone is going to say “OMG SAMMMME” I’m not going to because I already know the difference as should these other individuals
@@TheBatmanMonomaniac I managed to get my pup to stop, wish I could tell you there was some magic solution but I think the dog just learnt when the cats are in the mood to play and when they are not
NEED more dog with cats videos please! maybe show a variety of dogs working through the cat obsession. What about obsessive staring at the cat. I mean SO BAD that I can't even snap them out of it. I do take my BC herding twice a week so she is getting that outlet. advice?
I have a similar issue. I wonder if you resolved it?
I have a bc aussie mix. Hes 10years old and just made the leap to cat killer when he killed a feral cat passing through our yard. I have housecats that he is never exposed to. Be careful with your dog's behavior....i was always too afraid to address it because I didnt want him hurting a cat. I guess it just made him worse by not facing it. Idk if there's any hope for him now but if i had it to do over again id make him spend all our time together with a cat and make him wear a basket muzzle (in addition to supervision and guidance). He's the sweetest dog and very obedient otherwise
My border collie is the same way. I cant get her to stop staring
Have you tried standing in front of your dog so she can't see the cat and moving when she does and just doing that until she looks at you and then immediately rewarding?
I am utterly grateful for this content. My 9 wo puppy is driving my three 6yo cats insane. Now that I saw this video I understand that I have more work to do and what I was doing wrong. I was so frustated with my puppy but thruth be told he is going to be just as smart about it as I teach him.
✨🌟Good luck to all of you, you are not alone in this madness ♥️🐕🦺
We started using some of these techniques this morning and just one day has made a big difference. We have a young husky who LOVES to chase 2 of our cats. We’re using high value treats and it’s working really well. Thanks!
How's it going four years later with your husky and cat? Just curious, because I have two huskies, and the one I raised from a pup is completely fine with her, but the older one (from a shelter) is just nuts for this cat. Got him to a place where he'll listen pretty good...unless we leave the room. Then all bets are off. (This same dog dislikes little dogs, too. )
Along with my earlier responses to different ppl complaining about not knowing what to do, i wanna suggest that on top of never giving up & trying every single method out there, another huge thing that we need to consider is that a lot of times, it is us, the owners that need to change our energies & dispositions while trying to teach them.
If we're nervous, feeling desperate, upset or if within the household there's strife, tenseness & all around negativity, our pets especially dogs do get effected by that. Try changing yourselves or your family dynamics & see what happens! :)
belilu belilu It’s not exactly that simple.
It makes my house so stressful! Just adopted a 1 year old berniepoo and he is so fixed on chasing my cats! I will definitely implement these techniques and hopefully they can coexist peacefully!
did it work?
I’m in the same situation. Adopted a one-year-old dog who just won’t leave the cats alone and seems to be prey driven. I’m really frightened that he will hurt them
@@karenleeabler6330 Hi, how’s it going between your dog and cat? I see this was a month ago, any progress? I’m in the same boat!
I just adopted a huskypoo, 2 yrs old, goes after my cats like he wants to eat them. I have seven cats...a feral mom and her now 4 year old babies! They hide in the bedroom all day. It's hard to train the dog when the cats won't come around, but I don't blame them for hiding!
@@teri8964 I had 2 dogs that wanted to eat my kittens and 1 of the dogs was a hunting plotthound. I put the kitten in a safe crate for about a couple of weeks with a small litterbox until the dogs ignored the kittens. Then I slowly introduced them to each other and it worked out. Not only were both dogs fine with the kitten they also made friends with the neighborhood cats.
Currently, I adopted a border collie and he's blind, but still chases my cats who were raised with two dogs that I just mentioned. I think I have to cut out all rough play with the new dog and no fetch play. I think the key is for the dog to associate the cats as part of his pack and to view the cats as boring.
Have been watching you for years and I love these early training videos.
Great video. We have eight cats - just acquired a stray dog sitting at the end of our driveway. She is very friendly, hyper active & wants to chase the cats. They are closed off in other rooms right now. Been working with basic training (as you said to do first & exercise). She is young, Border Collie mixed with Husky (Blue eyes, pointy ears, coat like a Husky with tail curled over her back) black & white markings like a Border Collie. She is also in heat. Vet checked for chip - no chip. Notice out with photo - no response. We are in the SW Arizona Desert & our area is know for dog & cat dumping no longer wanted animals - sad. Will continue to work with her for training, attention & of course exercise. We have an appointment Dec. 16, 2022 for spay, chip & shots. Thank you for putting this video out & will check your other videos. Judi
One of the things that (oddly) helped my boyfriend's larger dog behave better around my two cats was introducing her to smaller dogs. She's gotten much better with the cats. She still sometimes has the urge to chase them and she'll paw at them to try to keep them still, but she's not trying to eat them or anything. I think the technique of keeping the dog's attention while the cat is around will work wonders.
my dog constantly barks at the cat and wants to Chase them. it's a pain
Same!!!!
There are great resources out there that will help you get control of your dog. Its not the dogs fault
Same
Tara Spencer same 😢😢😢😢😢

Love the training videos they have been so helpful in preparing to bring home our puppy and the first few months of having him home. He’s almost 4 months old and LOVES to chase after our cat and to play but he wants to wrestle which the cat hates, we have been working hard to keep him from doing it but progress is very slow and sometimes he bites the cat pretty hard. I at least have an area of the house for just the cat so he has a safe place to relax and eat, but I want the cat to be able to hang with all of us without the dog going after him.
My dog is usually hyper around my cats and biting their necks, thinking that he's playing.
Mine plays with the largest cat but stops if the cat makes it clear he doesn't want to play. Often it's the cat that starts it though.
Same her
Me to
Any dog my cat sees he just runs away before they even hurt him he isn't taking any chances lol
I have a13 week old giant schnauzer so he is already bigger and much stronger than my cat- but just a puppy, still. He loves the cat but plays way too rough. I'm very worried he is going to hurt our cat. He gets extremely excited and uncontrollable. The cat wants to be friends and won't stay away from the dog but has started to cry out. Also I do a lot of loving on the puppy. What is the reason we shouldn't do that too much?
Working introducing my 4 yr GSD with a high prey drive to a mature ragdoll cat. Zak, this video is the best I've seen to date. Others have deterred it, but I agree it's correct for one person to hold the cat during first face to face meetings. I love your positive approach, and agree with "not handling the dog", but having the leash for safety. Thanks for the inspiration
My dog barks incredibly loud when she sees my roommates cat. She sometimes barks at the door of the room that the cat is in whether she sees her or not. The bark is very high pitched & often scares the crap out of everybody.
Fantastic! We will start this right away. Are pup is so interested in chasing small furry animals. I really like the speed and straightforward approach to your videos. They are clear quick and give enough info without ummming and ahhing and pausing endlessly. Very nice to watch. Thank you.
He doesn't attack - he just gets SO excited and wants to play. Unfortunately they don't want to play with him.
Loved the video. We have a 5 month old German Shepard that loves to try and chase our two cats. I have been working hard on the leave it and have been doing well. Both Cats can now walk past her without getting chased. Thanks for all your video help.
Some of my cats know how to diffuse my dogs from chasing them. The trick was not to run away.
we used to say that a cat can always "buffalo" a dog. the cat just stands it's ground and watches the dog. if the dog comes close the cat growls and then hisses and goes for the the dog. usually the dog runs away. usually older stray cats are very proficient at it. i would supposed that it might not work too well with a big breed, like a shepard or mastiff, though. best of luck.
thats not a good way to let them interact. always separate them and acquaint them slowly. let them get used to each other and eventually they will both be curious esecially the cat. my cat and pup play but he has a tendency to get rough. gotta watch them @@cathieaustin5996
Smart Cats! 😄
@@cathieaustin5996 Oh it works with them as well. We had a German shepherd who was so well trained by our cats she never once chased any cat or small animal. She loved them but knew to treat them with respect.
@@cathieaustin5996 my family German Shepherd, Kyla, was pretty good with cats! One of our cats grew up knowing her as a kitten but our other cat, Vignette was deeply afraid of Kyla even though Kyla honestly didn’t care about our them. Never really stared and usually moved if our other cat would be all over her. Kyla never went downstairs but her spot was right at the base of the stairs. When vignette would try to quickly run pass Kyla, then Kyla would lunge haha it always seemed like a game to Kyla at least! I feel like shepherds tend know who’s family.
This is great, just got a puppy this week and she had been crazy with my oldest cat cause he keeps trying to check her out and she goes after him wanting to play so I’m going to try some of these techniques out :)
I'm going to try this. My 3 m/o collie cross is friendly with my cat but he loves to chase him and pin him on the floor. Sometimes Binx will play back and they'll have a wrestle but the past few days Binx hasn't wanted to and Cheddar doesn't understand. So all of this will be vital in his development. Your videos have been detrimental so far. The best I've come across of all available trainers on YouTune. So thank you very much for all of your videos and friendly non-condescending approach! 🐾🤗
I haven't got my puppy yet but I'm getting her on Friday and I have a cat so I want to make sure I know exactly what to do
Talia Rudd make sure you get a clicker and treats, and plenty of spaces where your cat can get away!
How are they?
TaliaGamez 05 cool! Hope your successful
TaliaGamez 05 you know u don’t have to do this you can just gently slowly introduce them, if that doesn’t work do what the video says :P
I adopted a 2 yr old German Shepherd recently and she doesn’t show aggression towards my cat but gets hyper when she sees the cat. The cat has also never been around a dog and just hides on top of the fridge from the dog.
Same boat im in
We adopted a pittie last night. All night long it was so loud nobody could sleep because she wouldn't stop chasing the cat. My cat was purposely running to get to do it too. I did the redirect method with toys and treats for like 15 minutes. Ever since then all morning, she hasn't even flinched! She don't even care one but if the cat runs right past she stays! Amazing, thank you so much.
Zak, you are the best and HAVE BEEN the best for many years. I just got a new puppy and although my cats are used to our adult dog, our new puppy is stressing out our cats because he barks at them, chases them, etc. I know it’ll take time on my part to train him to stop
Love, love, LOVE this video. Tried it with my elderly cats and pup and worked like a charme. One of my cats came to get some of the dog treats so nowadays I've got them both focused on me, sitting and staying on command!😆 The other cat is more of a "I'll tolerate this THING you've brought into the house" kinda cat.
Did have a rough patch during puberty though, lots of playfull hunting, but just re-do the exercise and you'll be fine (sigh, puberty....)
We just adopted a small rescue dog. He had been “cat tested” and passed at the facility. When we first got home he ignored the cat, but now he growls and tries to chase. The cat is freaked out. This video gives me hope. Thank you.
How did it go
Same bro I’m tryna get my dog to stop growling at the cat to cuz my dog is very loyal
Thank you so much for this zak! I'm introducing my new shelter to my cat who I've had for five years
Its so hard to teach my collie to leave our cat alone cause the cat seems to "tease" the dog and approach even though he hates the dog 😂
My dog and cats actually get along brilliantly, they're all a very tight group and absolutely adore each other. In fact, our most recent cat is still convinced our dog is his mother😂 Also whenever my dog hears cats fighting outside she goes completely ballistic to the point where we have to let her out.
Hello Zak :) Before your technique my dog was constantly bothering my sisters cats making it difficult for me to bring my dog round hers, she never went for them but seemed intrigued. We both tried your technique and she responded to it perfectly and now whenever she is with me when i go to my sisters she just lies down and doesn't bother them anymore even when they pass by her. Thankyou so much
I love for the day my dog does that!
You make it look so easy!
This is quite helpful! thanks for sharing
I'm fostering to adopt a dog right now and he was really great with the cats from the get-go but they decided to hiss and swat at him so now all he wants to do is chase them relentlessly.
We're working on sit and stay, which he can do!! Except for when he's full of beans, I can't center him, I can't even control him! No amount of exercise makes a difference if something excites him!
If they can't coexist, I won't be able to adopt him, and that's devastating because he's such a good boy and already my best friend!
Did you end up keeping him?
My 1st rescue feral was the same way, one swat with the claws solved that issue, now she barks at a safe distance lol...i have a new rescued feral that I'm taming from tnr... hisses and is kept confined in a great dane sized dog cage (litter box etc inside) until she learns the ropes from cat i already have. I have a pit bull with a strong prey drive..took 2 wks with a training collar n a few well placed clawed swipes to the nose, now they share a bed n water bowl
@@afenismama what kind of training collor? And did u keep ur pitbull on the leash n let ur cat free. I have a 8 month old bully n he wasn't interested in her till she swatted him now its like he just wants to play with her n when she is in the room he is obsessed with her I just need helo
We've just got a cat and we are doing the slowest introduction but this is very helpful because the dog is not calming down.
Did it end up working? I’ve had my dog for nearly 2 years and she still just goes insane whenever she sees the cats idk what to do 😓
@@defcom50 Hello - I don't feel unsafe as I know our dog won't hurt the cat but they are not the best of friends. They tolerate each other. I need to do more training as now and then the dog will tell the cat off or the cat will strike the dog.
This has been very helpful! We took in a min pin mix and he leaves one cat completely alone and just will not stop focusing on the other cat. He is good on a stay, but we can't get past having to constantly watch for interactions with the one cat and it's kind of exhausting. Neither he nor the cat will relax even after months.
Fantastic, thank you so much! I just adopted an Australian Cattle Dog cross a couple of days ago, and her previous family did really well by her in many ways, including clicker training. I have three cats, which she has never been exposed to, and I think your methods will work really well for her!
I have an Aussie Sheppard and he goes crazy around my kitten, did these techniques work for u?
Hello. Did this training work for you?
My dog has been getting a lot better! My kitten is very relaxed and lets him lick her, maybe plays a little. My dog is just so excited and wants to play. So getting him to just relax when she’s roaming has been tough. But he is slowly getting better, I am using a lot of these training tips, it’s just a slow uphill battle
mine has a strong prey drive 😭
Mine too, he’s a cavapoo and I don’t think they are suitable around cats because of the poodle
My fiancé and I have had three cats for six years now. Recently adopted a five month old puppy (Jazz). We introduced them and let her roam our house along with the cats, and only chases them sometimes. She picked up on sit/stay pretty quickly with some distance also, now just need to implement the distraction part and hopefully will be good!
Great video, great advice, we will put into practice ASAP with our 13 week old husky, border collie, pit mix and our 2 large domestic shorthair cats of 4 and 2 years respectively.
And did it work?
@@charlottelammers3847 yes. It worked about 85%. We had already made some early mistakes. But, that was our bad. The technique resolved most of the issues. Oddly, it's the cat that will antagonize the dog on rare occasion now. But for the most part, dog doesn't care.
the cat runs. that inspires the dog to chase. the cat runs faster.
the main thing is, be patient. keep them apart and they'll gradually
get used to each other.
yup, that’s the exact problem, the cat needs to stop running, then it wouldn’t be a problem :)
This is same problem I’m having. I have a lab/hound rescue and my cats have tried to come out of their room but as soon as they do the dog goes at them and they run. Wonder if I put my cat in a kennel where he can’t hurt them and they can’t run, wonder if that would help or hurt situation?
Daniel Stump I would love that but my cats have found that they can get to high places and hide so I can’t get them used to one another, any tips? I don’t want to force anything if it’s not good for them.
Need to train the dog impulse control and that it's never ok to chase the cats.
In my personal experience, just keeping them apart doesn't lead to them being okay with each other.
Mine are getting along took some time but the results r amazing
hejer khedhri please give me advice, I’m getting a rescued dog on Thursday and I have cat and I want any advice that I should try
Yes me too it’s our first dog and I need advice. I want the cats and dogs to live a happy life without this getting in the way...
Have had Morty the cat for about 2 years. Just adopted a shih-poo. I think she is guarding me and a little jealous of the cat. Chases and growls.
Thank you Sir. Very helpful.
Thanks for this video. I've just rescued a dog and she is obsessed with my cat. She is brilliant with cats that are comfortable with dogs, but as soon as my cat gives cause for chase she bolts. Any idea why the difference? Do you have any tips on how we can approach this from the cat's side as well to get her more comfortable with the presence of the dog?
My dogs behave Well with my kitten ^^.
They sometimes sleeps together (all 3 of them together) and It's so cute! ^_^
How do you have it calm my dog bites my cat and my cat hisses at my dog when she walks past him 😭
Yes! I think my cat believes she is a chihuahua! They love each other and look out for each other. But I am currently babysitting my aunts Jack Russell that leaps and lunges at my cat, scaring her. It’s driving me crazy trying to train the visiting dog to leave my cat alone.
We have a 7 1/2 month old Belgian Tervuren... She is a busy girl - "Star" plays hard - loves the ball, frisbee, running, search for toys but has issues on leash. She knows the command "no kitty" but can't resist jumping up where the kitty (we have three) is and adding a chase if we don't get her attention first. Kitties are used to dogs our Belgian Terv passed away in November 2018 @ 12 1/2 yrs old and we have a 9 1/2 year old Sheltie who is friends with all the cats.. Just couldn't resist adding another Belgian to the family.... She will "wait" but not consistently, she can be gentle and sniff the cats - but, that inner I just want to play with them takes over. Love the Zag George videos... I am learning what I need to do... consistency is key, but patience can is a virtue! Will replay the video a few more times for me - and hope Star gets the idea! Thanks for what you do!
Thank you, BIG help.
My cat literally screams and swats at my dog.
Death Pixel so does mine bc my new puppy won’t stop barking at my cat.. do u have any tips? I’ve been watching many videos and we’ve been slowly trying to introduce them but the second I get my cat my pup starts barking n my cat gets upset.. I’m starting to worry tho bc my cat has slowed down his eating n idk y it started a little after bringing the pup into picture.
NicoleKristine well in my case I had to train both the dog and the cat to actually get along, I got cat and dog treats ( any small amount of meat would work ) and put the treats in the same room and letting them go to it, I eventually moved it closer and closer before they were in the same area,
NicoleKristine a cat can feel very threatened by a new puppy especially if you’re spending a lot of time with the puppy. the cat will get jealous and feel like you don’t love them anymore. make sure you still play plenty or cuddle or pet your cat without the dog there so they know you still love them. it can be very overwhelming to have a new puppy for them, especially when their territory is compromised. not sure what to do about the cat being scared of the dog barking. try giving treats when you see a reaction from your cat that you like when the dog gets a little noisy, but also train your dog the “focus” command to snap out of that heightened mindset so you can stop them from barking.
@@rachelwalsh174 could you explain more???
I'd love to see more on this subject too!! I recently got a 3 year old rescue dog, Brownie. She's taken well to most training. BUT I have four cats who have all grown up with my former dogs. Brownie can sit fairly close to a cat (with a lead on) FOREVER but she VIBRATES like crazy.Ears straight up. Total tension. You can feel the energy pouring off of her. I know if the cat would run Brownie would be off like a shot if she wasn't held back. Brownie is getting a little better but we have a long way to go.
Great video Zak, as always clear and well presented. Click treat to you ;-)
Awesome thanks Zach!!!
What encourages my dog to chase is that my 2 cats run from him, and he is a puppy so he will feel the urge to chase them.
Same is my situation
It's more the chickens I am worried about
Omg. I have chickens too!! But the thing is we train them since we were puppies
Get an Alabai or other shepherd
Thank you for your wisdom. Dude. Will try out your technique ✌❤
Did my dog behave well with cats? My boy chases my kitty. I chalked it up to his young age and that he's part jack Russell, full of energy and play. But it makes sense to run him out when he tries to chase kitty. I live in apartment and take him to nearby dog park for a few hours. He sleeps for hours when he's back. He's either asleep though or going crazy in the house. There's not much in between. He just turned a year old last week. But I really loved this video! It gave me so much to work towards and excited to give this a try! Thank you so much for posting this video!!
Hi Zak - I've been following your videos and they are very helpful with my 5-month-old border terrier. She does well when I'm around and we're practicing in front of the cat, but once we stop and no treats are involved, she'll start to chase the cat again. How long does one have to practice this before they are conditioned? And at one point do you know your dog simply does not get along with cats? Would you consider citronella collars effective and humane for this purpose? Thank you!
We just got a little dog who will NEVER leave our cat alone. Every time our cat comes out of his hiding spot, our dog will run up to him and them follow him EVERYWHERE. We are trying to get him to stop constantly following the cat and leaving him alone, but so far he literally NEVER does that. I feel really bad for our cat because he will only come out of his hiding spot when he needs to eat.
Same here with my 9 week cavapoo, the cats are terrified I am at my wits end
Thanks for sharing; great job educating myself/ us. 👍👍👍😀😀😀
Thanks for this video, will try your tips...
I just got a yorkie puppy. 13 weeks. he is driving everyone crazy because of how much he wants to play with the cat. the cat isn't having it lol. so they end up rolling around on the ground wresting..... I'm going to give this a shot. wish me luck!
I want my dog to love my cat or at least not aim for the neck.
grabbing the neck is how they'd play with another puppy. It's a dominance move. If you lay your puppy down and place your hand on his neck firmly but not harshly, he'll submit in the "you win" game. Sadly, the cats don't like that. going thru that right now too!
@@lisadugan1796 It's not just that they don't like it, it hurts! It's very dangerous for dogs, especially with big and strong jaws, to get a hold of a cat's neck!
@@aerchii8643 true. Depends on the dog, the intent, the grip, I was referering to baby puppy play
No Dog will ever love a cat. Deal with it.
@@prehistoriccreature1800 not true lol, my brother’s golden retriever loves my cat. It might be due to his age, but My dog is an Aussie and he’s very hunt driven, when he see’s a small animal he automatically goes into “hunt” mode.
Hi there! We've had a cat for 5 yrs and this last year, we tried to have my boyfriend's 2 dogs around with her multiple times & 1 of them is always trying to catch the cat no matter what we do...the cat always hisses & freakishly growls 😆. Now, we've rescued a German Shepard & are trying to have him & the cat be friends & get along in the house. The 1st week, neither one of them messed with the other & we thought we got lucky! Then week 2, the dog went after the cat & cornered her....couldn't tell if he was playing but it seemed like he was not. Now I've put a gate up in the hall so the cat stays on one side & the dog is on the other but I don't want it to be like this forever!! Previous dog owner always left him outside so it's been an adjustment to get him comfortable with even coming in the house or walking (& slipping a lot) on the hardwood floors...I just don't know what else to do & can't afford a trainer for that many sessions, PLEASE HELP! Thank you 🙂
My dog is constantly trying to chase the cat. I’ve been trying to break her of this by distraction but it’s been tedious. We needed this video
My dog is an eight week old German Sheppard puppy. She is only engaging one of our cats, but I believe it's because of the reaction of the cat. The puppy is learning sit and come rather quickly, but getting her to really leave the cat alone has been a real challenge. We exercise her a lot, but she is a ball of energy. Any thoughts or ideas or is the something that is going to take some time?
I’m in the same boat, did you figure it out?
you toke it too far my cat is sleeping on the dog
i want that with my animals!! i want them to trust each other and feel confortable
My previous dog did that with my cat! She also licked the cat until a part of his fur went brown, from black. Now, my new puppy chases my cats all around the yard. I hope I'll get them to tolerate each other.
Mr Facysus omg tht would be great
Goals
Mr Facysus lol
My 1 year old rescue first was calm with the cats and just curious but. now goes after them. We're working on this now
hi dude thank you for showing this we'll try it thank you so much
My dog is relaxed around cats until he starts randomly barking and getting all in the cats space. Granted he's 5 months old. But that's what I'm tryna work out.
Hello Zak, I have an australian shepherd which has a natural herding instict and he always chasing my cats and he has a hard time stopping. Please help.
Same here!! Please let me know what has happened or how to solve it
Meghan Johnson I have an Australian Shepherd too, and dog aggressive cats😂
I have border collie and he's 3 months old, he's chasing my cat like crazy, but the most thing I don't like is that he bites him :/
Same for me
Umm my dog is a small dog and well he goes ham on are cat he literally bite her on the tail he had fur all over his mouth and well we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and well my dog is the aggressive one and I need help he even chases people and barks at them I literally had a friend over and he was just starring at her then he started chasing her
My 4-year old cat is my 5-month Border Collie’s favorite thing on this Earth. He would live without me, food, the kids, and sleep to be able to spend all his time with the furball. She’s trying to connect to him but he makes it so hard. With my help, they’ll have a good, calm moment where he’s sitting politely (on lead). They’ve even touched noses and she’s showed him her belly a few times. BUT, he gets bored and rams his nose at her so of course she takes off running, which is all he ever wanted.
We adopted a rescue a dog about a month ago, and he was really good with the cats at first. He was being treated for heartworm and wasn't feeling well, so he was pretty calm. Now that he's feeling better and has more energy, he wants to chase the cats. I hope they can learn to coexist because we love the dog and don't want to have to return him to the rescue.
So I am having troubles introducing my new 3 month old kitten to the family dog. Should this video work? If not, any ideas/references?
give your kitten plenty of escape routes and check out some of Cesar Millans videos for your dog and Jackson Galaxy videos for your new kitten
My cats don’t realize my 6 week pitbull wants to play but he’s to hyper and barks.
I’m about to get 2 cats but I’m scared the family dogs will case them
HEYYY! i just got a 7 week old puppy, he was 6 weeks when i got him! im curious how its going for you!
Heeyy! It’s going real good. My pup is being well trained thanks to these videos. He gets mighty jealuous when I play with my cats tho but he’s all around a good puppy mild biting when he’s excited but he knows when to stop. How bout your Pup?
@@CapitalCHEEZ oohh okay gotcha! my pup has mild puppy biting too that i hate... when i give him a treat he snaps my fingers off as well, he looves food so im working on the command wait before he jumps for the treat! that will be the start of stay. how is your puppy with other dogs? im just curious to see if my puppy is average and what not! he met a dog and he was scared and cried at first, and then that crying turned to growling and i was shocked!
Antonia Quinn my pup was honestly uninterested with other dogs although I went to the small dog arena. He didn’t even look there way his focus was me and he only played with me. Maybe try introducing him to other dog thru a fence first or the small dog area. The big dogs were interested in him but my pup ignored them haha but I’ll see how he reacts next visit. You have a pit as well?
We just adopted a 4 year old puppy mill rescue. 13 lb American Eskimo. She's actually doing fairly well, but she now intimidates the cat to keep her away from our room at night, and my husband during the day. We are going to dog obedience with an experienced rescue trainer, but we have alot of work to do.
brought home a kitten this week and my dog and him are best friends! the issue is my dog is part heeler, so she has the impulse to herd things. all she wants to do is be near him and smother him with affection. we're working on the idea of "if you behave, you get to be near kitten. if you misbehave, we remove you from the space he's in." it's slowly working
What if my cat is the one attacking my dog? What should i do?
Leonne My cat is the one annoying the dog too! Try playing with your cat using proper cat toys. Do this daily and it may get rid of this problem. My cat has been getting better since I've started doing this.
Then you’re ok 😂
My Picardy shepard is the absolute worst around my cat. Im trying to train her but it isnt working that well. Any tips?
consistency.
Patience is 🔑
Back to basics .... start back from the beginning keep them separate.. small amounts of time and build from there with dog on lead.. teach leave it ...
I just got given an untrained 5 year old husky dog who does not know sit and stay. I was lied to and told that he is good with cats. He chases my cats and we have had to keep them separate. We have been training him sit and stay, taking him for walks and playing with him. I found your video helpful. I do not want to get rid of him because he has been uprooted a lot. My 2 cats are not happy with the situation.
This is very good advice
I have 2 cats, one VERY scared cat and one more outgoing one and my family is getting a jack russell puppy :- Any tips?
I just a rescued a dog and we are trying to teach it to stay away from the cat. I'm reading everything I can and checking out all the training videos. There is a lot of good information out there. I must admit that I regret getting the dog, even though he is really cute. It wasn't fair to my cat. :(
Well? What happened? I'm curious about both of you :)
Don't get the puppy.
A Jack Russel may never stop chasing the cat, especially if it’s purebred. They are working dogs bred to vicious killers of little critters.
Please help me my dog is a beagle puppy but pretty big and my dog is holding my cat down and biting help
Alycia Reaves I’m sorry to say this but the best option is to get rid of the dog if it is that aggressive
Alycia Reaves how has your situation evolved? I hope you could keep both pets.
@pigeon getting rid of pets shouldn't be your first knee jerk reaction. Getting help should be.
This breaks my heart because I’m afraid it’s going to happen in my house. One dog is fine the other is an asshole. The cats don’t bother them at all, they just want to do their own thing and not be quarantined in a bedroom with 4 hour breaks. It’s unfair. My husband is attached to the dogs. I am not, sadly. I am attached to the kittens. I have tried everything. Treats, distraction, medication, separate rooms, it’s annoying and the only way to knownif it will change is to let Bugz alone and see what he will do if cats are being watched so vigilantly by me but if he gets ahold of them, having Pitt bull jaws, he will do serious damage. I hope you got help and both pets are getting a long better. It would definitely Ive me hope
@@Bruh-mk2tu why the cat? Maybe they should seek professional help
Thank you for this video. I am hoping that it will help with our issues. We rescued a 1 yr old Texas Heeler, and he does not tolerate cats at all. He has already gotten a hold of the cat.
I have a Belgian Malinois that is now 5 months old. I got her when she was 3-1/2 months. She can just watch my 2 cats sometimes, but it’s crazy with them hissing and barking at each other a lot when they are in the same room. Most times my one cat hides behind the couch or on the bed. I’ve been teaching her the “leave it” command, but I need to train her more. One of my cats runs and then my puppy wants to chase, but I know she just wants to play with them, but the cats want nothing to do with her. It has gotten better and I do believe one day they will be buddies. Patience and persistence!…
my cat hates cats and dogs . I want my cat to be friendly with a new puppy but also my puppy to be friendly with cats , chickens and dogs when my puppys older how would I do this ?
Shanti-re Alem'neh make sure that you introduce your puppy to the other animals it will be living with at a young age. When you first introduce your puppy make sure to be watching them constantly, but remember that it will take time.
shanti _re the cat iis probably independent so let the cat hour a lot not much u can do really but the cat hates it’s own kind?
shanti _re had any lucky??
When on a walk my dog is more focused on his surroundings and wont poop
My borderian collsky is a night mare on walks she looks at exactly everything tries to chase cars real cars sometimes if I'm lucky enough to see my buses pass by the 205 and X1 she tries to chase the 205 which usually a midget bus and sometimes a single decker but with the X1 its a different story that's usually a double decker and I'm talking about real buses but with x1 because sometimes the bus engine is really loud even louder than they idiots that have racket cars but moving back to my borderian collsky and buses she sometimes get a fright from the bus that is a double decker but when the X1 has picked up a single decker she tries to chase. After it then sometimes if the X1 has picked up a quiet double decker bus my dog goes crazy and starts running like a total twit chasing after the X1 very rarely but sometimes she runs and barks like a heedless chicken at the bus and then I'm sore for the rest of the day sometimes for a full week and because she is so attracted to exactly everything on the walk she does no violet outside then goes out to the front or the back garden and does her needs there do u have any advice
Toilet sorry my tablet keyboard has no idea what a tiolet is
We just started fostering a one year old dog named Moose yesterday and he is absolutely perfect except for his desire to chase and play with the cats. We have three cats that we have had for years now so we really hope to get him to start having good manners with them by the time our foster ends so we can adopt him. He seems to be able to grasp the command "leave it" when we take him for walks so I really think he can show us some good kitty manners. We definitely want him to learn this for when we go on hikes so he doesn't try to take off after other small critters.
My dog CONSTANTLY chases my roommate's cat. It's exhausting keeping him in check. Thank you for the video!
i adopted an abused hunting dog. he wants to kill my cats. I have 19 farm cats. How do I get him to not try to kill my animals
Doesn’t sound like a very good fit. You can only do so much training.
My puppy and my cat like to chase each other, but sometimes I'd like the puppy to not do it so the cat can have a break. Is there a way to train a puppy to do this?
Yes Kenneth. Watch the video.
Your cat trusts you guys so much ❤
My dog is a hearding dog and usually taking her outside to play or tiring her out playing around the house works best so I was glad to see that in the video! The only time it’s hard to keep her back is when I give my cat attention because my dog gets jealous even if I pet both at the same time she crawls into my lap and pushes the cat out of the way. Sometimes it’s funny but it can also be frustrating when I want to spend time with just my cat and I don’t wanna put my dog in the other room because then she’s even more sad.
"How well does your dog behaves with cats?"
ME: I dont know... out on the streets I dont put my dog on the lead, and when he sees a cat, he just walkes passed it but if we get a cat( which we are thinking of doing) we dont know what will happen...
Comment what dog you have!! ❤
Lola_dark wolf black lab mix! 11 year old named bo. I’d like to get a cat but not sure how he’d react. When he was little we had an older cat and he always chased him
pug
I don’t have a dog but we’re getting one and we have two cats and don’t want the cats to be sad... so we’re building lots of cardboard hiding spots for our cats and are prepared to train the dog, but this is our first dog so I’m still nervous! At least it’s a puppy so it will grow up with the cats...
@@saturniiiidae aww I hope it goes well!
My 2nd dog just fights the cat around
Just so u guys know my first dog max died😢😢😢😢😢
Our cats are 15 year old ragdoll
Chilled tolerant
One is a pushover and the pup senses it
The other is stronger
Put the pup in his place day one and continued to swipe and chase the pup over the months
Pup has been very respectful of him but still over exuberant with the other one
We can call him away most times and use food as reward
Thnx for vid..it helped a lot!
I’ve got a golden retriever puppy (12 weeks) and 3 cats (aged 7y, 7m, and 4m). Our puppy is an exuberant, mouthy, and somewhat “dominant” for lack of a better word puppy compared to the goldens we’ve raised in the past.
The two older cats have no problem putting the puppy in his place when he chases or mouths at them. He just gets frustrated and barks at them. But the 4 month old kitten lets puppy MAUL him. He’s always soaking wet because the puppy stands on all fours over him in a dominant gesture and bites all over the kittens fur and stomps on him as an attempt to offer “play” bows etc. The little kitty just doesn’t know how to protect himself and assert himself effectively. What’s worse is that he seems to WANT the puppy’s attention, and will flop down on the ground in front of the puppy and then end up getting bloody scratches on his ears from the puppy’s sharp teeth.
How can we help the puppy leave the kitten alone or play more gently if the kitten is seemingly into BDSM?
