"training suggestions" section

I noticed the section devoted to training suggestions and you should read What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a manual or guidebook. Mysterytrey talk 19:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you consider that section to be a manual or guidebook. I only see it as very useful encyclopedic information regarding how dog/cat relationships can be forged. In the meantime I have reverted your edit.--Coin945 (talk) 15:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"It is not appropriate to create or edit articles that read as textbooks, with leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples."

-from WP:NOTGUIDE

"While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places and things, an article should not read like a "how-to" style owners manual, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box."

-from WP:NOTGUIDE

I'm assuming that when they typed "suggestion box" they had in mind any thing providing suggestions, such as a suggestion list. Mysterytrey talk 22:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources needed

I tagged the article as having possible unreliable sources and for notability. One ref is a pet sitting website, another is someone's website on how to use a clicker to train animals, and the third is a site selling pet insurance. Has the subject of this article received no coverage in more reliable sources, such as books from university presses or respected publishing houses, refereed journals, or even newspapers or magazines of wide circulation which have a reputation for fact checking? If the only possible references are ones such as these, then it does not seem to satisfy notability. One could create an infinite number of nonnotable and ill referenced binary articles, such as Chipmunk-cardinal relationship since I saw a chipmunk and a cardinal (the bird, not the church official) competing for seeds under my bird feeder. Edison (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I actually found "The Wilson Bulletin" with an article about a chipmunk and eating a cardinal: [1]. So should there be an infinite number of Guinea pig-canary relationship Dog- goldfish relationship articles? They would be as encyclopedic as this one.Edison (talk) 16:51, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than speculation and extrapolation based on the current article, why not search for sources yourself and see what you can find? I for one happen to know there are many reliable-er sources (I couldn't say "more reliable sources" as that would mean something else), but I didn't feel like reading full length books to extract informaiton so made a basic stub with the bare information. A quick google search will provide the answer to your question.--Coin945 (talk) 16:54, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

sentence structure, word use, image captions

the introductory sentence is written very poorly

the use of the verb forge in its tenses is strange

the images have no captions

this page is in a poor state — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc Bago (talk • contribs) 03:06, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

potential sources

looks like there might be a lot of good stuff in here -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:23, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

big cultural reference missing

This article is not complete without mention to the cartoon series titled Tom and Jerry. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.125.144.74 (talk) 15:26, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poor article

The first sentence already ruins it. Would there be any interactions if they weren't both pets? What about an article about dog–hamster relationship? --2.245.190.230 (talk) 19:29, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

dog and cat relationship

Why are dogs and cats naturally enemies. Lex luga (talk) 04:30, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not always. Cats get along with few other creatures because the cat relationship with most other creatures is predator and prey. This is not so with humans and cats. Humans are often with dogs and cats simultaneously, and they often teach the dog to get along with the cat.

Perhaps at times the dog starts treating cats like dogs, which is good for avoiding trouble for dogs. Although cats are potential prey for dogs, they are not easy prey. Cats can become companions for dogs much as they can become companions for humans. Pbrower2a (talk) 10:42, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

needs a little work

Telling people what the sayings are don't really support this article. How could you make that relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lex luga (talk • contribs) 04:33, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
