How would this work with a very strong dog who lunges? She has a violent prey instinct to kill cats.

My dog is a beagle mix,35 lbs.,who loves to run and smell things. She would pull me around to the point of choking herself. Have used this leash for several months and she can no longer pull me as the leash controls her back legs, it is a pleasure to walk her now,I tried a harness but she got out of it and still choked herself. Hope this info helps you!

I bought this for my son dog (pit bull) I never ask him if it worked or not

My dog is part coyote, rott, Shepard & husky. It stopped her from pulling and lunges almost immediately

My dogs are smaller than some cats. Kittens may be too small there was a review I saw that said really light animals might not trigger. It is very sensitive though. A pounce would probably trigger

I do not use mine for cats. I have two dogs, one is 12 lbs and the other is 46 lbs. It works great and it only really takes one - two times for them to step on it to learn a lesson. As the details tell you, if you are using it to stop a room entry, use the bigger wider one. Again, I'm so glad I purchased this item.

I would guess cat claws would tear it, but that is only a guess. I use it for my 35 pound dog, and it works great for him, but I'm not sure about cats, since I don't have any.

There is Composure for cats. Not personally having cats, I have heard it works on some and not on others. Just like dogs. Not a good answer, contact your veterinarian for a best answer.

My cat did not try to escape from the holster. I think she (more or less) felt secure in it. One thing if you have a rather long haired cat the velcro closure may snag the cats belly hair. Hopefully they will redesign the holster where it attaches on top rather than underneath.

For kittens it is great. For a dog it would probably depend on size of the dog and activity level. It's pretty strong but fog's claws might be a probably. I really love it for my kittens. A small dog might work

It doesn't take any real force to open the door. However, I am not familiar with what a dog that size is capable of. Maybe he wouldn't be able to manage going through the opening. I wonder if you might be better off getting the smaller cat door.

Sorry, I have never had a cat. I have lots of friends with cats though. My personal opinion is that because they are prey animals, that they would be more likely play with something that moves. Just my humble opinion, based on what I have read about prey animal behavior. It does not matter how old your dogs are (I was a professional dog trainer). If they are food motivated, this toy might brighten up their lives a bit. Rebecca

Yes, the cats would destroy this. I was looking for a divider to just keeping a cat out of a room that like to claw up the furniture and piss it up. Only lasted 3 days and cat found a way to climb it. Other than that, it was a nice looking divider before the cat got to it. Trading in this cat for a dog.

I think it could, however I believe they sell these items for cats. This is for little dogs up to 25 lbs. You can adjust the zap level.

I suppose it's possible, but not very probable. More likely if the cat was determined to get out, its claws would get wrapped around in the mesh instead of actually fraying it. The mesh is of stern material but flexible in contruct.

I doubt that any cat would bring a kill into it's home. They are secretive animals, concealing their "scat" from larger predators and it seems logical they would treat their kill in similar fashion. In other words, they probably wouldn't do anything to attract unwanted attention to themselves or their hiding place/home. Cats do however share their prey with their master/mistress - may leave a dead mouse for you to find as a "gift". We used to allow our cat freedom to come and go using a cat door. One night the wife awoke to find a live mouse in her bed as a 'present' from the cat. After that the cat was confined to the house at night!! I doubt that any cat would bring a kill into it's home.

it may very well work, just make sure to keep it against a wall. i had one situation were my cat did a flying leap across the living room, strait for the claw post and it tumbled over. she wasn't hurt or anything, just scared her. If there had been a bunny inside of it at the time, things may have gone differently, especially since bunnies can be prone to being literally scared to death.

They can be trapped just like a dog but most domestic animals don't use their paws to retrieve foods. Cats would be more at risk.

I think she could. Most cats can manage to jump to just about anyplace they want to be. And if it takes a little practice, a few extra tries....that's exercise and exercise is very good.

You need to turn mat off. It works very effectively for cats. No experience with dogs.
