Thanks for the advice, Art. I like the muzzle idea, and I'm also going to look into NILIF a bit more. I've picked up bits and pieces of that from friends, but hadn't heard of it identified as NILIF. I guess if you don't get the whole set of information, it's just like anything else you pick up...

Thanks a million for your advice. This just helps me solidify what I need to do. The dog is definitely in prey mode with how he is acting, and it is very difficult to get his focus away from the door wher the cat is. I'm thinking the most effective start would be to put his training collar on...

Thanks, I'll probably do that. I need all of the help I can get! The scary thing is, I don't know which one would win! Doug
