Praiseworthy Pets

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:

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.
