Behavior, Housebreaking, Obedience / Help a new dog owner teach the dog NOT to chase my kitties!!!
« on: September 25, 2005, 05:54:05 am »
Our new 6 to 8 month old Husky mix won't stop chasing our 2 cats. We adopted her as a stray from a shelter and she already is housebroken & knows sit and shake.
At first the cats wouldn't get near her, but now they are getting closer to her, and sometimes it even seems as tho they are instigating, but she chases them so much that they are hissing and growling and freaking out, and one of my long haired cats has coughing wheezing fits if it gets really bad. She does not seem to want to listen to us when we say NO! or STOP CHASING THE CATS! Especially this goes on when we are asleep first thing in the AM. She does not have a crate, and I know that is a big part of it. We are working on getting one cheaply or free if possible, have already spent about $500 on this dog and are broke from her. Any tips on training to help her leave the cats alone? She doesn't ever bite, she just seems like she's playing but of course the cats don't see it that way...
