Common Dog Problems

Chasing Cats

You might think that some dogs "just chase cats", and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

If you treat only the symptom of cat chasing by trying to make your dog obey, or by trying to make him submit to you, or by applying "positive and negative reinforcement" - however successful the programme may appear to be - the desire to chase the cat still remains. So your dog will still continue to torment his feline sibling whenever he gets an opportunity and thinks he can get away with it. Unfortunately, when we command our dog to leave the cat, he actually thinks we are barking at the cat, so of course he hears the opposite to what we are saying. Which is not so nice. And explains why your dog seems to be disobedient, and why he actually chases the cat more .

However, when you treat the root cause of the problem the way Natural Dog Training teaches you, the success rate in curing cat chasing is very high indeed. And if it is nipped in the bud, it is 100% curable - even in breeds like Bull Terriers. Natural Dog Training has a proven solution. Pam's house calls, Living with an Alien, her booklet on curing adrenalin related problems, and her home training kit will all give you the solutions that you are looking for!
