Expression "to live as the cat a dog" means life in constant squabbles and quarrels. Often quite so it also happens if two pets live in the house. But it is much more examples disproving this expression. It is possible to make friends a cat and a dog. For this purpose a few forces, patience and the free time devoted to communication with the favourites are required.
The first meeting of animals
Most often animals get used to each other independently. Several days spent under the same roof will nullify hostility of animals to each other. But, if you smallhave puppy and an adult cat or a cat, then there can be problems. The kid the desire to play can turn life of an adult cat into torture therefore you should devote more time to games with a puppy. Over time the dog will grow up, and the problem will disappear by itself. In cases of strong game attacks of a puppy it is possible to apply team "faugh". Though, most likely, the cat will get used to move on the house, without going into a floor on which the playful puppy runs.Any manifestation of aggression of a dog or puppy to a cat has to be punished strictly. In this case strict punishment is just necessary. For example, in attempt to rush on a cat the dog has to receive team "faugh" and a slap a palm to the area of a croup. If it seems to you that the dog represents serious threat to a cat, then it is better not to get the second animal yet and to throw all forces on his training. It is possible to ask for the help the professional dog handler who will be able to check process of the first meeting of animals. In general, the first acquaintance has to happen thus: the collar is put on a dog, the lead buckles up, for reliability it is possible to muzzle. If the dog tries to rush on a cat – give it the forbidding command and sharply pull a lead. Then seat a dog near yourself, having given the sit command, the cat has to be near you at this time. Try to achieve that the dog sat at your leg, without reacting to a cat. If the dog tries to repeat attempt of attack on a cat, order "faugh" and strengthen breakthrough by a lead. The first meeting of animals needs to be kept under control. Allow the calmed-down dog to approach a cat, to sniff at him. Strictly stop any manifestation of hostility. Try to obtain at least indifferent reaction of a dog to a cat. Let at first walks round the apartment in a muzzle, then when the dog calms down, it can be removed. Constantly control communication of pets, do not make sure yet that they normally get on. The owner is the authoritative leader for a dog and, having shown persistence, any, even the most aggressive dog can be accustomed to a cat.
Pursuit of a cat on the street
Often puppies or adult dogs, having caught sight of a cat, like mad rush behind her. At this time they can run out on the carriageway or escape far too removed from the house. That your favourite ceased to chase any living being on the street, teach him to execute accurately the command "to me". The call of the owner has to be for a dog a reason for joy therefore at a good training the dog will obey the owner from 100% a guarantee. It is possible to stop an animal in a pursuit of a cat the strict order "faugh", and then it is necessary to say team "to me". The dog has to execute these two vital commands ideally. Try to obtain that one your word was enough in order that the dog stopped undesirable actions.
