Dog likes to drag cats
Hi, I am new to this group and I have a puppy that likes to drag my
kittens around. She is actually very good with them except for this particular problem. She will grab their face or their ears and just start dragging them around the yard. The cats seemed to put up with it but I 'm afraid she may hurt them. We've tried several different things to get the dog to stop but nothing works. Thanks, Leslie www.palette48.etsy.com www.sweetoutfits.com |

Dog likes to drag cats
I knew a Golden Retriever who would "retrieve" adult cats. Wouldn't
hurt them, but his face would get all scratched up by the cat. I know the owners never got him to stop doing that, but I also know they didn't try very hard. Just wanted to wish you good luck. |

I know the owners never got him to stop doing that, but I also know they didn't try very hard. As the one-time owner of a dog who nearly lost an eye from a cat scratch, I hope the OP stops allowing the dog to molest the cats. Cat scratches to the eyeball are a not unlikely outcome, and they are bad news. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship. -- Louisa May Alcott |

" , clicked their heels and said: I know the owners never got him to stop doing that, but I also know they didn't try very hard. Geez. Definitely a "don't let him do that" situation. You gotta wonder sometimes - does anyone own a leash? Do they ever tell the dog to stop it? Do they teach a recall? It just isn't that hard! -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
