We rescued a dog around 3 weeks ago, overall he’s a saint. He listens, sometimes less when distracted, but nothing that we can’t fix. Is comfortable staying alone, doesn’t go nuts in the home, is friendly with all dogs, but… he chases all cats he sees, barking and behaving so differently I’m losing hoping that we can train it out of him.
He’s 2 years old, lived 1 year in a crate and 1 year on a farm from which he was kicked out after smothering 7 chickens. He’s a mixed breed, not castrated yet, medium sized and loves to smell everything around, he seriously sticks his nose deep and can spend even 30 seconds smelling 1 spot. Which I guess might be some hunting behaviours?
Is it even possible at all to train the dog not to react to cats at all? Right now he’s going completely out of control only on this aspect
