Is there a way to teach to get along with a cat

Re: Is there a way to teach to get along with a ca

Do a search here - this is a pretty common problem, as you might imagine with all these high prey drive dogs! What was recommended to me (here) was that every time Puppy got overly interested in the cat, to have her sit/down, whatever. Eventually, I was told, this would become a default behavior.

We ended up doing a combination of things. a) Crating the dog if we felt the cat wasn't safe b) having Puppy sit whenever she looked at the cat like a meal c) reprimanding her - the *only* time our dog heard "NO!" in her first 8-9 months was if she was looking at the cat like a toy.

Puppy and cat are usually fine now. Cat is apparently part of the pack. Cat gets occasional friendly licks, instead of "are you tasty licks." This, of course, is great for us.

ok, had a major accident last night, the dog blew the front and rear, she threw up, i seen evidence of slobbering, and she pooped all in her crate. she also got a new leash into the crate some how and chewed it in half. I fed her about 7:30pm last night after we ate, then took her out about hour later. she drank alot of water, but stopped her before i think she took to much. needless to say ive been up since 5am cleaning, and still got a big brown spot where she yakked up just dog food. mercy the house stinks. is it possible that she worked herself up cause of the kitten running around the house after we go to bed, cause her to stress herself out and have a accident? She aint tryin to eat it, but when sin is in the crate, and the cat is seen, she starts biting the crate and pawing to get out? would covering her crate at night help?
