Tips on what you can do to make your dogs stop chasing the Cats

If you are a dog lover like me, train your dog to specific behaviors is challenging enough, but there are times when you just wonder what your dog in the world thought of him just a certain way. Well, chasing cats is one of those times. Of course one must also ask what the cat to think like the heavenly taunted the dog.
Fun League? Grudge match? Love / hate relationship? By any logic, which could go into both their heads, can be very dangerous to a normal activity of animals when they drive through the neighborhood, or your house, fully aware of their surroundings and potential dangers lying in wait for them. Training your dog to stop this hunt will help protect them and the items in your home or around your home.
Why they chase cats
Since we obviously can not read the thoughts of our dogs, based on the nature of dogs in general, it tends to a boil until the territorial boundaries. Your dog is a territorial guard, and therefore sets its limits. When this area is attacked by an unknown "enemy", your dog natural protective mechanism kicks in and the first reaction is to get rid of.
In the case of cats, or a small active animals that require a dog is approaching the need to escape, and thus follows a chase. Although your dog might have chased the cat outside its territory, more than likely will continue the hunt, again due to both fully aware of their surroundings.
Some dogs can even see the cat as prey, but more tame, more than likely, your dog just wants to play with the cat and enjoy the pursuit.
Moreover, the cat is actually trying to get your dog area that your dog will see as a threat to its dominance to demand.
Training your dog to stop chasing Cats
In the air, it's much harder to control a dog, as any active form that moves is an open invitation to a hunt on the back of your dog. Keep your dog on a leash will allow you to have much more control in training your dog to stop hunting as part of the general line education.
In your home if you have a cat you can introduce them to each other in a room. Maintaining the use of selenium, your cat can then leave the room and you can take your dog to sit and hold training. Using simple line training with commands like "no" and keep a firm grip on the leash to your dog hunting.
Because dogs have a strong chase instinct, consistency and patience is the key to training your dog not to chase the cat. What training you use, do it consistently every time you see your dog's urge to hunt.
A very good command, you can use "leave it" command. Dogs can learn this quickly, and can be applied to many things they want. If you teach them that they can not do anything as the command, they will learn to react like a cat behind.
