About two months ago my kids and I  found a little kitten staggering out from under a scout hall. We gave it water and food and after a few days, managed to bring it home. After I overcame my cat allergy with massive doses of Vitamin C, he ended up staying, and is now called Rajah. By now he loves clicker training, sitting in laps and winding his way around Kiara the Whippet's legs. He also has a fabulous Recall :-). Kiara has been undergoing intense training to change her from a - potential - cat killer to a cat lover. I used a combination of Katen Pryor's ("Curing a cat chasing dog") and Leslie McDevitt's (LAT, Puppy Ping Pong) approaches, and so far, things have been progressing well. They even have (heavily monitored) play sessions together now, while Giro and Rajah have unanimously agreed to ignore each other's existence.

    I started my dog journey with Jessie, a small white fluffball bichon-schnauzer cross. She was trained in the traditional way by choke collar and praise via voice. After she died, Giro, my smooth collie, taught me how wrong this approach was. Kiara, my whippet, reaped all the benefits, and can't wait for her training every day, all day!
