Agility+ terriers + cats = trouble!!

[Keltic]

Been to agility training with Daisy May tonight, she was really distracted all night by a bl@@dy cat, towards the end of the training session she couldnt contain herself anymore and got away from me, she ran after the cat and it hissed and legged it straight up the nearest tree!! I did catch her but bl@@dy cat wouldnt come out of the tree so had to leave it and try to carry on training, anyone got any tips for teaching her not to chase cats??
Did check before i left and cat has come down from tree!!

Find the biggest, most bad ass cat and let it have her - that should do the trick.

Read the book 'When Pigs Fly' by Jane Killion which is one of the best possible 'training of the less-than-perfectly-biddable dog' books on the market.

This woman trains staffies and ebts for agility, so she knows what she's talking about.

It'll teach you how to put 'chase the cat' on cue and then use it to reinforce the agility.
