Billypup has been with us a year now and we haven’t been very proactive at trying to integrate her with the cats as it was clear the cats weren’t happy so we’ve set up dog free zones and the cats are now relaxed and happy.
However with the lighter nights they have been spending longer in the back garden and over the last week billypup has been going ballistic every time she sees them. This isn’t a new thing exactly but has got much worse this week.
Any suggestions. So far I’ve been trying to get her to calm down by getting her near me and to sit and talking to her and then distraction with treats which works to a degree but is becoming less effective. I was wondering about trying time out in the hall but up for any suggestions to stop the barking. Which I can cope with. I don’t like it but last night it was DH that was getting grumpy which is harder to cope with.
