Cat
How do I get Cat to get along with my dog?
Many families accept that keeping a cat and dog together is part and parcel
of a normal household; other families would not dream of keeping both pets together.
Some breeds, such as terriers, which retain strong hunting instincts, are likely
to cause more problems.
Training Objectives:
To integrate a cat or dog into your household in the shortest time, without
any bloodshed.
Training Steps:
- If you introduce a puppy and kitten they will accept each other from the
beginning, with the kitten merely hissing at the puppy a few times to show
who is boss.
- If your dog has been used to cats, or the kitten has been brought up with
a family dog, there should be few problems. However, they should not be left
together unsupervised until you are confident they have reached a mutual understanding.
- It is important to be aware that there is a greater risk of injury to either
dog or cat, so close supervision is essential.
