Dogs & cats

I think rewarding Rebel for gentle interactions with the cats is working. He wouldn't do anything to my female cats but he was being very rough with Crash my young male cat. Crash is so soft & loving & just lies meowing when he gets hurt. They are building a nice bond lately

That's a cracking pic Laura

Thanks Ian, I had to share that one

What a great photo. There would be 0% chance of getting Gus to do that

What a good boy he is, great pic

Thank you, I think it's a great pic too. Crash even follows us on the dogs walks lol

my bengal and my staffy play fight alot but recently the dog is relentless he wont leave the cat alone and he is biting the cats head now i am sure its not hurting the cat but its relentless he literally wont relax when the cat is around i am worried its going to get worse as chase gets bigger i dont want him hurting the cat =/ any ideas to curve it?

That is exactly what Rebel was doing. My female cats just give Rebel a warning look & he leaves them so poor soft Crash was getting it non stop. I've been working on biting in general & teaching gentle. With the cat I've had to supervise a lot & get him to play with me instead to lure him away. Then when he was tired & calm around Crash start rewarding & saying gentle. I think it's just being persistent & stepping in before cat play gets into the hyper excited stage

Awww what a fabulous photo
