Introducing a Komondor with a Cat

Despite the misconception, a great deal of pet dogs and cats can live together comfortably. Follow these simple to follow actions to understand how to best introduce your Komondor with a cat.

1. Make certain your Komondor knows basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘down’ prior to meeting.
2. Create a safe area for both your Komondor and cat, where the other pet can not go into.
3. Keep them separated in the beginning, for the first couple of days. Make sure both Komondor and feline have had the needed shots.
4. Feed your Komondor and your cat on opposite sides of a closed door. This helps make them associate each other’s existence with pleasant things.
5. Once they both can consume calmly next to the door, start off having meet and greets in a common place of your home. Keep the first few sessions brief and calm with your Komondor on a leash. Treat both animals for great behaviour.
6. Continue these face to face sessions daily. Make sure to save your family pets’ favourite treats for these sessions. If your feline wants to leave, let them, but ensure your Komondor doesn’t go after. Attempt ending the sessions well before any family pet reveals indications of stress or resentment.
7. When they appear like they’re getting a long well, allow them to spend time in the room with each other. If any stress appears, return back to the previous actions and redo them.

Why do Komondors Hate Cats?

Not all Komondors hate felines, some get along with them. When Komondors do dislike cats, of the most typical factor is quite straightforward. Like all dogs, Komondors still hold onto some of the hunting tendencies that they were initially bred for. This is why Komondors love chasing after all moving objects, whether it’s a toy, rodent, or a feline.

Since many felines will escape when they encounter, it’s easy to see why they are understood for not getting along with each other. Komondors actually take pleasure in chasing after cats not because they dislike them, however mainly because a fast running animal activates a strong, natural impulse to go after overcomes any training or socialisation.

How to Stop Komondors Chasing Cats?

Training your Komondor to quit chasing after cats takes some time, practice and consistency, however the benefit of not having to stress over them always going after is well worth it. Here are the steps of how to stop your Komondor from chasing felines.

1. Keep your Komondor on a leash while loose when your feline is in the same room.
2. Whenever your cat is near to your Komondor, stop what you are doing and get your Komondor’s focus. If he listens, give him a reward!
3. Keep awarding your Komondor up until the cat goes away. If the cat stays give your Komondor a chew reward or toy so they remain focused on their treat.
4. Consistently repeat the above phases and you’ll see your Komondor instinctively sit and look up to you when they see the cat. Don’t forget to keep awarding them!
5. If they are now automatically taking a look at you whenever the feline remains in the space, they’re ready to be using a longer leash. If they still try to chase the cat at this point reel them in and return to step 2.
6. Lastly, take the long leash off and enable your Komondor and cat in the exact same space. At this moment your Komondor must understand not to go after the cat, but if they do go back to step 5.

How to Stop Komondors Killing Cats?

The very best method to ensure your Komondor would never ever kill a cat is to raise them with cats when they’re a puppy before 3 months old. At this age, they will usually want to play with the felines and won’t see them as prey.

If your Komondor has actually eliminated a cat before, its best if you keep them in an open, fenced off space. When taking them for walks try to avoid going after dusk and before dawn since that’s when cats are most active and most likely to be wandering the streets.
