chosen.content: First, try to identify the cause of the barking. Is your dog barking out of frustration because the cat is escaping his or her reach, or is the barking in reaction to an aggressive gesture from the cat? Once you’ve determined the cause, you can begin to address it. 
  
  If the issue is frustration, increasing your pet’s activity level may help. Providing your dog with stimulating toys and taking them for walks or runs can help burn off energy, reducing the need for your pet to chase the cat.
  
  If the issue is aggression, first try to separate the two pets. If that doesn’t work, you could look into purchasing training tools such as sound-makers that give your dog a warning when it is engaging in problem behaviors or trying pet-specific pheromones that may help reduce stress levels. 
  
  Additionally, you may want to try relying on a professional’s help. Trained animal behaviorists may be able to provide you and your pets with effective and safe solutions that are tailored to your specific needs.
