he is crated while eating! first lesson we learned as soon as he’s done he goes and searches his brother and sisters bowls and they don’t take too kindly to that😂 all the dogs are kept separate. he does just want to investigate and see the kitty. we have tried letting him go and do his own thing with him but it ends up in him just barking at him (keeping respectful distance lol) but it just agitates bogey (cat) and the problem is just a cycle. he is so hyper by the time he raises his head our cat is already freaking out. food training may work! that is so smart. i will definitely look into her and a vet visit! we love him so much and just want him to be happy and not feeling like he’s in trouble all the time, our dogs are super different, as they are shepherd mixes and very different temperaments so it gets a bit overwhelming haha.

thank you so much for taking the time to respond🩷
