Expensive Adam,
I followed a 1 year-old female dog about a year before. I've 2 cats who was raised with dogs and like dogs. When my dog first arrived, the first couple of days she was subdued-- being in-a new surrounding - however she wanted to play tough with all the cats... which did not set too well together.
The cats run and when we make an effort to have all of them in the same room together when watching TELEVISION, etc she chases. I have been keeping them split up with child gates (the dog in the kitchen and the cats in family room) and don't let the dog over unless both cats are outside. Canine ends up spending a lot of time in the boundaries of your kitchen with this process.
Is there a way to teach her that people do not want her rough-housing with the cats for them to all be together in the same room when I am present? The e-collar looks great but therefore high priced. Maybe a cheaper solution? Thanks. Experienced the book!

Beloved Willie Mae & DeAnne:
When the cats run, they're triggering your dog's feed drive. This really is natural. However, it is also natural for your dog to defer judgement to his pack leader.
What this signifies is that: You should act like the group leader.
In other words, if you tell you dog to lay out, you should USE THE TECHNIQUES in the book (timing, motivation) and persistence to keep the dog in a down-stay. In the event you choose to get more on read more, we know of millions of online resources you should consider investigating.
I professionally LOVE having cats around when I am teaching. What could possibly be more straightforward to evidence your dog around?
Remember, your puppy should remain down UNTIL you give him the 'Take a break'! Order. If h-e gets up to chase the cats, then you'll need to fix him back into the down position.
If h-e gets up again, it is a sure bet that the corrections lack enthusiasm. (Correct more firmly. Be sure you are becoming slack in-the line. In the event the dog's body is going when you right him, then you are using muscle instead of technique...

That you don't need an electric collar. Merely a $12 prong collar and a six foot leash.
Your friends may think you are a genius, once you get your dog to carry a down-stay around cats using only consistency, correct time and determination. Or the missing love child of Sigmund and Roy. Browsing To http://entrustdental.com/?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=123333 probably provides lessons you should use with your family friend.
Now if you can only get those disgusting cats trained!
That's all for now, people!
Adam.
