chasing the cat

Question
Hello;
I do not know if the Schnauzer (?) is a terrier.  But perhaps you can help anyhow.  My sister just adopted Sweet Pea from the animal shelter. She's between one and two years old.  She was a stray so we don't know anything about her except she's a sweetheart.  The problem is that she chases the cat.  Not in a mean way...just chases.  We are afraid the cat will hurt her. Any suggestions about how to stop this?  
Thanks very much, Carol

HI CAROL
GET A SPRAY BOTTLE OF WATER, ADD A TAD BIT OF VINEGAR, GET READY TO SPARY IT INTO HER FACE EVERY TIME SHE DOES THIS AND LOUD AND FIRMLY SAY: NO CHASE NOW!
IT WILL STING ENOUGH TO STOP HER AFTER A FEW TRIES.  IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME.  THEN PET AND PRAISE HER.
SCHNAUZERS COME FROM GERMANY THEY ARE VERY GOOD DOGS I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYBODY LETTING ONE LOOSE TO STRAY THEY COST MONEY ALSO?
POOR THING, IT WILL QUIT WORK PATIENTLY WITH HER, LOVE HER IT MIGHT BE JEAOULSLY OR PREY DRIVE.  KEEP HER EXERCISED OUTSIDE DAILY WITH A BRISK WALK AND THROWING THE TENNIS BALL, TIRE HER OUT FOR BEDTIME AND DURING THE DAY UNTIL SHE LEARNS HER TRAINING NOT TO DO THIS.  YOUR HER BOSS AND LEADER, SHE WILL LOOK UP TO YOU TO LEARN RIGHT FROM WRONG, ALL DOGS NEED A LEADER.
