How can I stop my border collie from chasing my cat? Dog Breed Discussions
Dakota, my border collie, is a year old and she never gets tired of chasing down my cat. I have plenty of high points and blocked off areas that only my cat, Calypso, can reach, but any time he ventures to the floor my dog chases him. I know Dakota has a natural instinct to heard (i.e. chase what ever is moving), but is there any stopping her? I catch them in stare offs when Calypso is the floor and I distract Dakota by telling her "enough" and getting her involved with something else, she listens then but then the next time the cat is around my dog is ready to chase him again. They never hurt each other, Dakota just wants to play but my Calypso doesn’t. Any suggestions?
