Not making progress with the "typical" path to coexistence?

It's Training Cats and Dogs!

What adjustments do you make to a "typical" integration plan when the cat doesn't make himself scarce?

In this Dog and Cat Chat, Melissa and I come up with a plan to make Gem and Bart's interactions more predictable after a chase that ended with the cat in the dog's mouth 😲

What you'll hear in this episode:

• why letting a bold cat decide when to see the dog might not be the best idea
• how important it is to stop and congratulate yourselves on reaching a mini-milestone (because the journey to coexistence can be long)!
• what kinds of setups to do when the dog is more freaked out than the cat
• why you can't be one-and-done with a setup (even if your first attempt goes super smoothly)
