Cat

I have a four month old puppy. He is pretty good with regards to toilet training but will sometimes have an accident. The biggest problem though is when he comes across one of our cats. He wees, but I think it is just because he gets too excited as he is usually bouncing around trying to get them to play. OH suggested it could be him trying to mark his territory as sometimes he is still when he does it. Do they mark territory at four months? If it is just excitement is he likely to just grow out of it?

The cats still aren't that sure of the pup yet so they tend to run away when he gets too boistrous and he just thinks they are playing :rolleyes: Thanks for all the suggestions. It was helpful and I will stock up on more treats and try them out.

Hi :D A month or so ago someone mentioned that they had taught their dogs "leave it!" or similar when they want to chase after the cats. I think this would be very useful as Im concerned about my pup chasing after the cats when he has grown (he isn't too bad at the moment and just bounces around trying to get them to play). Would someone please be able to explain the best way to go about teaching him? I yell at him when he goes after them, but didnt know if there may be a better way? Also, is it possible to train an 11 week old pup to drop something it has in its mouth? If so, how would I do this? I'm afraid I'm going to lose a finger trying to get things out of my puppy's mouth :rolleyes: Thanks in advance.
