Dog: "Back off, please!" Cat: "Yeah...Nope."

If you've ever wondered whether your cat is teasing your dog for the fun of it or deliberately antagonizing the dog to get a rise out of them (and attention from you), this episode is for you.

In this Dog and Cat Chat, Chelsea and I come up with a plan to teach her mischievous cats how and when to give their reactive dog brother some space.

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • why "see cat ➔ eat cookie" isn't totally working

  • how "annoying little brother syndrome" affects your training plan

  • how to help your dog feel that his warnings are being listened to

  • why a dog that is reactive to things outside needs to be able to de-stress inside

Some Updates from Chelsea:

“Overall everyone has been getting along well. Some light playing with each other recently and sleeping in bed next to each other even. The joint training together has been life changing!”

Creating clear spots for the animals to target on the bed has made it less of a sticky spot (and more predictable for Buckey)

Toys make the best pillows.
