Dogs and Cats, Training Eternal enemies to coexist

Dogs and cats. Eternal enemies, is not it? Through proper dog obedience training you can teach your animals to live together.

The first mistake that most pet owners make when introducing their dogs and cats is to allow them to make their own ideas. This is a mistake! As I said earlier, these two types of eternal enemies. You can not just set in the vicinity of the other and can expect good results. (Ok, I know what can happen and will happen, but my job here is to showdog training. My version of the training calls prevention in cats and dogs, instead of creating a problem and then be forced to solve the problem. As Mom said, prevention is better than a pound of cure.) It 'a good preventive measure, you want to co-exist as long as your dogs and cats are used.

Whether the introduction of a new cat home with a dog or vice versa, I want you to start the same way. Start with your trusty dog cage. Put yourHis dog in the crate and leave the cat in the same room. There are several possible outcomes of this action:

1 Your dog is showing indifference. This is perfect. If your dog behaves in this way, you have a fast transition.

2 Your dog shows fear. This is not ideal, but will facilitate the transition, as some other results.

3 Your dog shows nervousness and anxiety. He complains, goes into his chest, his paws on the door of the box, etc. This behavior will tell youhe wants out. There is something that the cat, which is exciting and wants to know what it is.

4 Your dog show open aggression. Barks, paws at the door of the crate, and knows exactly what he wants with this cat. This is the hardest dog to train, but you can do.

For the first few days of leaving your dogs and cats to each other in the vicinity. Keep the dog in a cage. This does not mean that he has on hand 24 / 7 to keep. If youwants him out of the box so make sure your cat is in another bedroom closed to prevent contact. What do you hope to achieve with this campaign is to educate the dog to be indifferent to the cat. Want to see your dog, the cat as "background noise". The cat is irrelevant, the cat does not matter, there is nothing interesting or exciting on the cat. In other words, your dog is safely stowed in the chest and the way to move the cat around the house. For categories1 and 2, this is easy. There is no more than take a day or two for your dog to think of your cat as another "thing" at home. Grades 3 and 4 will be more training and time.

For categories 3 and 4, you need to show a negative association to fix cat aggression. To do this, have a spray bottle. Fill the bottle with either plain water, water mixed with lemon juice, or for very stubborn dogs, water with vinegar. At this point, your dog is still hiddensafe in the crate. The next part of the training is done while you sit on the counter, ready for action. The instant your dog shows aggression (the claws of the cat barks whines at the door in frustration, etc.) on the cat sprayed in the face with a spray bottle. Every time it shows aggression with the spray bottle. If he does not show the aggression of soft praise "Good boy."

Make sure that your dog will never show, aggression canthe cat, not a bad experience. This means that you will always be ready with the spray bottle or make sure that the cat is not near the dog. If you are not alert and your dog has a chance to show aggression without negative consequences, you train the cat with the show aggression.

If you are in line with this practice you will soon discover that your dog shows aggression less and less, while in the crate, not only is worth the squirt in the facehim. You have to coexist on the way to get your dogs and cats.

If you believe that your dog is indifferent to move the cat to the next step. As I said, for classes 1 and 2, this is probably one or two days after the start crate training. For categories 3 and 4, you get your dog to the point where he is indifferent and keeps this attitude for several days if not weeks.

The next step is to get your dog from the crate and the dogand cats together, finally! You move slowly, though. Teach your collar and leash dog training your dog and make sure that he always wore around the house. Keep your dog is in your area and let your cat in the room. If your dog to eliminate every step to chase the cat, the cat cortex, or perform stereotyped behaviors that dogs and cats, give them a very strong correction with the leash allows. You want a leash correction to be a memorable, so it mustbe very strong. You want to create a very negative association of aggression towards cats.

Be consistent with this formation. If you do this correctly, you will notice that your dog has been less and less desire to chase or bark at the cat. How to be your dog's behavior has changed more freedom and more to him to be closer to the cat and further away from you. Eventually phase out the use of the dog training collar and leash.

ThoughYour dog does not display aggressive tendencies, let him never to chase the cat in the house, even playful.

Even some of the most difficult to train dogs to respond to the above method. However, there are some dogs that are so strong prey drive, that only drastic measures to hunt them for their desire to heal and kill cats. For these dogs, I use an electric collar dog.

Read the installation instructions for your correct e-dogCollar training. With a stubborn dog, an electric collar, the method is simple. With the collar around his neck and turned to a high level of charm that will correct your dog every time she sees in cats are. As your dog even sneaks a look at your cat the key to providing the correction. Do not say "no" to not react in any way, only he corrected on the kitten. Do this every time we want. Let this be your assessed from the perspective of the dog. Hewant to get the cat wants to hunt and kill. But the act of watching the cat causes pain. You say something like that does not associate the correction with you. He will soon learn to believe that the cat is "evil" and not do better, why did the act of seeing the pain.

As with all training, you must be very consistent. Your dog may never be a chance of success even want to hunt or chase the cat. To be consistent,however, and soon your dogs and cats can coexist.
