in the sky mall magazine, there is a doggies and Kittie doorbell that you wireless connect the doorbell to the wall on the inside of the house then an instruction packet comes with the doorbell package to train the pet and voila! your pet doesn't scratch the door anymore!
A good way to keep cats away from dog doors is to leave something with the dogs scent a short distance away from the door. This will alert the cat of a dogs presence or future presence. This will also prevent a dog and cat fight.
* you could give your cat a treat * add a cat flap * think of what you cat likes and give your cat his/her favourite thing
A scratching post is a nearly indispensable item for any cat owner. It will reduce many of the headaches of cat ownership caused by normal cat behavior. Firstly, it will keep your cats from sharpening their claws on furniture, curtains, carpet, walls and door frames. Secondly, it gives kittens and energetic cats with a vigorous activity to keep them occupied. Scratching behavior is a normal and essential function too keep their claws in proper shape and can help alleviate stress. If you have multiple cats, you may find that the scratching post will become a social meeting place.
Put fox scent (or urine) which you can buy at your local co-op and put around your vehicle.
This dog needs regular exersize. This will discontinue the nervous chewing and scratching.
Good question. It's a way of marking its territory. When cats sharpen their claws they are not only sharpening their claws, but they have scent glands on their paws that leaves a scent marking. It's not that noticeable to humans, but other cats notice it.
Is he trying to get into the room or does he just like to scratch? If he's trying to get in, let him in. If you don't want him in the room, ignore the scratching and he will eventually see that it's not working and stop. This works short term and long term, but you need to be consistent. If he just likes to scratch, spray him with some water and he will learn to stop
Answer was to buy a "Scat Mat". However - it doesn't work in open doorways - cats jump right over it. But with my bedroom door shut, they don't scratch on it.
close your door and/or put one of those things that goes over the door knob

Do you mean scratching? It is normal for all cats to scratch: it is marking its' territory.
Keep your door locked,so then,people will have to knock,as there is no other choice for them.

Yes, you could. You should keep your door closed while doing this because cats hate water and cats could jump out of the tub. I have a cat and he always runs out the door if it is not closed.
OK first of all you take the cloth and rub its face. Then u rub a little of that on the wall and anything else. Since they have a special sense, and it is their own scent, they will not scratch it.
declaw them like cats. or just file down their nails...be careful when doing so. you dont want to pinch a nerve. that goes for any dog.
Discipline my friend
It means you have an itch.
To clarify: I had an old closet door, with a large mirror on it, propped up behind my bedroom door. My dogs were playing in the bedroom and must have shifted the mirror behind the door because when I closed my bedroom door behind me, I heard the mirror slide down and then fall... The door has a lever-type handle, with the lever turned vertically up instead of being horizontal (to keep the dogs from opening the door). The mirror seems to have fallen on top of this, and being that it's quite heavy, I can't move the handle at all. Also, about as far away from the door as the mirror is wide, there is a very large cabinet. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this, short of trying to climb through the second story window??
