To calm the dog down? Or to boost the cats' confidence? That is the question.

When you've got an intense, chase-y dog and some scared cats, how do you prioritize your training projects? In this Dog and Cat Chat, I explain why (in Jenna's case), I suggested that she focus on addressing the cats' skittishness first before tackling her dog's intense reactions to seeing the cats move. What you'll hear in this episode: why two kittens might be better than one how to make seeing the other animal less of an event (when they are absolutely apart) how to help nervous cats explore their territory (and why it was priority for Jenna) Want to dive a bit deeper?
