German Shepherd Dog Forums - View Single Post - Can't get our GSD to stop chasing the Cat

We have an indoor car, who is down right terrified of our new GSD. He's a rescue, so we did not know he wasn't very good with cats when we got him. He seems to be more curious than anything, but he is chasing the cat and seems to want to track the cat as well. The encounters between the two seem to be escalating the more we keep ignoring the problem. Recently the GSD nipped the cat in a playful way I believe but its still unacceptable. We are having to lock the cat up at night when the dog is inside and just generally doing our best to keep them separated. Does any one have any tips or ideas that we could use to stop him from chasing the cat and to just leave it alone. Yelling and screaming obviously does not work. Help please!!!
