Dog and Cat Socialization: Training for Hyper-Excited Dogs
if left to their own devices the dog
would chase the cat and the cat would
run and – the dog both the dog and the
cat need to learn how to be calm
rewind today one
it took three minutes and 15 seconds for
Ludo to sufficiently sell so that we
could begin desensitizing and counter
conditioning him to the cap step 1
desensitization and counter conditioning
we’re feeding Ludo its breakfast in the
presence of the cat to help him redirect
his focus and relax the cat is also
eating his breakfast in the carrier for
the same effect
ludo is at the point here where he is
calm and attentive without food so long
as I am kneeling in front of him this
means he’s ready for step two step two
operant conditioning after about thirty
minutes of exposure we are now going to
raise the bar Ludo has to offer a simple
behavior before receiving a reward here
I want him to look at the cat and then
look back at me
two weeks and four training sessions
later the cat is no longer in the
carrier and he confidently and calmly
holds grin and ludos presents Ludo is
calm and responsive to my cues
you
training is not complete but both Ludo
and Smith are making great progress
