Do you have a cat that you never see anymore? Maybe you had the cat first and now with a dog or puppy in your house your cat stays hidden in the basement or the upstairs closet!
Well, I am sure you would like everyone to get along. Being afraid of your dog always chasing the cat or having your cat fight back is no fun. We all want to live in a Peaceful Kingdom.
Yes, dogs like to chase small, furry, creatures because it's fun. If you help your dog release their energy by playing with them first such as a game of fetch, maybe, your dog will be too tired to chase the kitty!? But that may not be the case, as your dog will always be excited when the cat comes into view. So it is necessary to teach your dog not to chase by having self control.
Here is a an example of how to teach your puppy to stay calm or at first "Stay" while the cat gets to move around.
This is just the first stage of learning. You will have to help your puppy or dog with continued success by giving them more chances to think about chasing the cat and helping them decide to Not chase the cat. Once they see the cat in a calm state, they may no longer be Arch Enemies but may become Best Friends.
