My dog, Toby, was extremely reactive to cats. I began his training by teaching him basic commands like'sit' and'stay' when he saw a cat. I also used a leash to control his movements. I made sure to keep him at a distance where he was just aware of the cat but not overly excited. Every time he obeyed the commands, I rewarded him. Slowly, Toby's reactivity decreased. Now, he can be in the same room as a cat without causing any chaos.

Well, I know of a poodle named Daisy. Her owner was very patient during the training. The owner started with short, controlled exposures to cats. For instance, they would take Daisy for a walk near a house with a cat in the yard, but keep a safe distance. As Daisy got used to this, the distance decreased. At the same time, the owner rewarded Daisy for calm behavior. This long - term training paid off, and now Daisy is no longer reactive to cats.

It was a great success.
