about crating the poor kitty :o :D
I would rather "abuse" kitty for half an hour, than having to pull him out between Odin's jaws at one point ;) You HAVE to get an opportunity to correct him, if you have all day, ofcourse, it will be better for all to just sit and wait 'till a cat passes by and make him ignore it at this point.
For me, I felt it was easier to abuse our chickens and teach Ivil not to grab them in the chicken-pen rather then wait for it to happen and risk being to late... it's milli seconds from fence to chicken for Ivil, I am a tad slower :lol: And even though the chickens had some rough days ("wok-tok! OMG there is a WOLF in our enviroment!!! We are all gonna DIE!!!! AAAAAaaahhh!") and we had no eggs for a week :? all is well now. I still can never leave her alone near any feathered creature, but at least I can stop her when she starts to stare/focus. If she is beyond the stare I'm too late, her ears are out of order from that point on. :dschick:

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.
