[quote=Anonymous]First of all, I don't want to hear from any cat haters.  I love all of my animals equally, two cats and a dog and they are all staying no matter what.  We adopted our cats 11 years ago and we love them very much. One is shy and sweet and the other has a very funny personality.  The shy one is very affectionate with me but timid with others in the family.  Doesn't have a mean bone in her body.  Anyways, along comes dog.  I fell in love and adopted a dog in May.  The first thing I did was have him tested with cats and kids.  He passed both with flying colors.  He walked through a room full of cats that were roaming freely and he ignored everyone one of them, walked around and walked out.  He was and still is perfect with kids.  He is a great dog BUT he has turned in to a nightmare for my poor cats.  He chases them relentlessly.  One of them basically lives in the basement or under the bed.  Will not come out unless I she knows the door is shut and he's not around. For meals. The other isn't as extreme but limits himself to one room pretty much so that he doesn't have to get chased.
He doesn't ever try to hurt them in fact once he catches up, he usually just gets swatted and hissed at and backs up then goes forward than backs up again.  It is quite silly.  I'm not sure what to do!  He gets plenty of exercise but hasn't had any training since we've adopted him.  Is there anything that you know of that can work?  Has anyone else been in this situation?  Any advice?  [/quote]
