Thanks for watching Introducing Puppy To Cat - Tips To Make It A Positive Experience. How are the introductions going with your cat and puppy?
hi again!! i have one last question for you. right now i am twelve, and i have $1000 set aside for emergency medical bills. is that a good amount, or should i have more? i want to make sure i have absolutely everything ready before i get a puppy :)
Not so good. The first week the cats were very upset with our puppy barking & whining while she adjusted to her kennel. They had the freedom to go downstairs where they felt safe in the mater bedroom. We are on week 2, cats are hanging outside a bit more observing the puppy (Chug). However when the puppy sees the cats she bounces over to them to investigate & they his & go away. We don’t pen our puppy outside because we have a fenced yard & she gets the best exercise with out a pen. Our puppy is probably 1.5lbs much smaller than the cats so we are careful to make sure she is kenneled when we are sleeping or not home. I want to know how to get the puppy to not chase the cats since they share the outdoor area. The cats are free to leave the area but the puppy is not.
My thought process is that doing it the “right” way takes multiple weeks. I didn’t want to let my puppy keep growing and wanted her to be introduced to my cats while she was as small and clumsy as possible. My cats taught her their boundaries within seconds.
This is my exact thought process! To do it while the puppy is smaller than them 🤣
I have just gotten a 13 week old shepherd. He is bigger than the cats but they are all dog friendly. So far he is too hyper but I want them to all tolerate before he is too much older. Going to get an adaptil collar now. He is great with people, other dogs and goats.
@@sfloridapatriot5572how is it going now? Update? I have 3 cats and planning to get a german shepherd.
My cat hit my puppy and it broke my heart
Going and getting a puppy with my wife today. We're both in our 30s with no kids so this is a total life changer in a way. The only thing we worry about is our cat has a tendency to be a little anxious so we're afraid of the first interactions. Thanks for the tips!
I hope all goes well with both kitty and pup. Be sure to take introductions slow and use the techniques in the video to help them both get used to each other.
Howd it go?
How did it go
I’m literally bringing my puppy home tomorrow, great timing!
Same
Me too but it's not sure cause someone else also wants that puppy :(
Good luck how is it going so fat

How did it go ?
Crate training is also helpful for the puppy. Cats don't respond to boundaries very much, but puppies do learn and don't get to have freedom of the house like the cat does. Let the cat notice their crate and scent first before face to face interaction (if ever)
Thanks for your comment!
We are getting a new puppy, and this video was so helpful!
Your are my Hero 🦸♀️. Thank you sooo much.
I introduced a dashaund puppy to a 5 year old cat.. I stocked up on so many cat and dog treats. Nearly 3 weeks in... pup is dropping toys in front of the cat 🥺 Getting there slowly, but it's getting better. Dog and cat know their boundaries.
Great work!
Thank you so much!! This is awesome!! 🙏💙
Thank you for watching! We hope you got some helpful tips from the video!

We are happy to help!
I'm getting a labradoodle on April 18, 2021!
Thanks great Video I am bringing home a puppy soon and I have a cat who was very friendly with my Golden Retriever who passed away this year aged fourteen they were inseparable and always slept together my Golden always let my cat have her own way. The one thing that bothers me is my Cat Poppy is very nervous and runs away upstairs when someone visits or rings the door bell She will only come down when they have gone she has always been like this when I first brought her home she is three years old brought home as a Kitten and what worries me is the chance she will run away and not come home ? She is loved and spoilt and can be very stand offish when she wants to be but I know she loves me follows me everywhere Thank you from the UK.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome! Thanks for checking out our video.
Soooo helpful thank you
We are happy it was helpful for you!
I'm getting a puppy soon and I am looking so forward to this.
It's great that you're getting ready before the puppy comes home!
I've been waiting for a video on this subject for a while, thank you so much Michelle!! I have two grown cats (11 and 4 years old) and I'm bringing a dachshund puppy home in 3 weeks. I hope that, with the tips from this video, they'll be able to at least tolerate each other 😅
Congrats on your newest addition arriving soon 💛
How did it go?
Your case is pretty similar to mine, I'm curious to know how it resulted.
I just got an Australian shepherd yesterday and my cat has always been terrified of dogs. I tried to slowly introduce them but she hissed and growled even from a far distance. I’m going to try some of these tips and hopefully they will be ok. I’m so scared because I love my dog and cat so much and I don’t want to lose my cat’s trust.

Glad to have found this video 💙 luckily our 3 cats have done well with adult dogs but it's obviously different than a puppy, which my fiance and i are getting one this week that a costumer from his job needed to home since they didnt have the space; so we're just as excited as we are nervous so this video helped ease a lot of anxiety knowing we're already heading in a good direction (started scent swapping somewhat early, the current owners of pup gave us a blanket he loves and we gave him toys and a blanket our cats use so they have a slight familiar idea) and already getting gates to set up in the cats' safe rooms (we dont like litter and food in the same room but still quick access to get to either one) so the pup wont stress them out too much. This was a great video and im very glad to have learned more and know we're hopefully on the right track! 💙 also is there any specifics for a chihuahua/pomeranian mix when going about this since they arent big pups or any video/channel reccomended? Would love to know!
Sounds like you're off to a great start! Breed is only one (small) factor to consider when it comes to dog training.

Can you make a video explaining dog body language? I just feel like if I look it up just on google something, it won’t add up or make sense.
Oh christ good thing this came out before I got my puppy husky I was about to let my family do the "put them together and let them work it out" technique but this just proves they shouldn't thanks for the tips I'm sure my cat and puppy will get along eventually :)
Thinking of getting a puppy. I am nervous because I have a cat. He's still rather young (a little over a year) but set in his ways. I absolutely want to get a puppy. I am nervous about it tho. I don't want to get a dog that won't be compatible with my cat. I am okay with them just tolerating each other, I just don't want an injured pet. This is alleviating some of my fear.
I have some questions that I wonder if you could answer... I’ve been begging my parents for years to get a puppy and it seems to finally be working. The only problem is that my neighbour who lives a couple doors down has a cat who visits our house everyday. (The owner knows and she’s more than happy with her coming in) Seen to the fact that I don’t have any supplies for the cat, what do you suggest I do to introduce them carefully and calmly? My next door neighbour has a big dog which she doesn’t really like. Will she feel the same way about my puppy? I was planning on getting a cavapoo as people in my family have allergies and I believe they can get on with cats but I’m not 100% sure. Fudge (the cat) is also a little blind and doesn’t trust many other cats like her sisters so I’m a little worried... She comes into my kitchen and that’s the limit for her. I have a glass door between the kitchen and the living room. Would it be a good idea to use that to introduce them? Having the cat in the kitchen and the dog in the living room? My aunt is also getting a dog (hopefully my dogs sibling) and I’m just so nervous about what I would do if she hates both of the dogs as we would need to look after my aunts dog as she goes away a lot. Could you advise me? I’m so sorry there is sooo many questions I just want to ensure that I am introducing them in the right way❤️
I’m so glad you made this video! I was gonna comment on the last video if you would please make this video. I have 2 cats and I’m nervous of introducing our new puppy in mid December. Thank you

@@dianaramirez8530 - How did it go? I’m going to get a puppy in November and introduce her to my three older cats slowly. I live in Round Rock, Texas.
@@Reclaim-the-Rainbow he’s about to be a year old on the 28th. We got him at 2 months. One of my cats who I was worried about it’s hissed at him and swiped and he would back up. Now he’s like 60-65lb and he chases both cats 😂 or tries to be play with them, even if they don’t like it they do somewhat play. But they are all doing great. I had to teach him to “leave her/it” when they don’t want to play
This came just in time for me
That's awesome. Did you just get a puppy?

This was extremely useful. I have 3 cats and one of them is very very anxious. The tutorial was good and I followed every step 👍 👍
We are so happy to help you!
Did it work? My cat is super anxious too... He either runs away or doesn't enter the house when my sisters dog is visiting.... He would not allow us to pick him up and take him into a room with a dog.... I'm concerned as I'm getting a puppy next week...
I’m getting a lab puppy soon, very excited anxious and scared all at the same time, we have 3 cats (one quite old and two adults) and they’re all very unique and particular, with not so great backgrounds (all of them saved from the streets), I’m just hoping for the best but preparing for the worst
How did it go?
Update?
@@eliiiizabeth760 Hi! It went surprisingly well, my lab adores my cats and if it was up to her she'd play with them all the time. My cats are having a harder time accepting her especially because of how energetic she is, but they tolerate her even though sometimes they WILL remind her where the boundaries are! Patience is key and I'm sure there is still a long road ahead before they fully accept our little pup
I've been looking into getting a puppy but I live alone and probably wouldn't be able to stay home full time for more than 1 week (2 if I get really lucky) after bringing it home. Some people say if you practice being alone well during that time it'll be fine and others say you shouldn't leave a puppy alone for longer periods of time until they're at least 6 months old. Do you have any tips how I could make that work? And sadly a crate is not an option for me as it's actually illegal here to leave your dog in one unless you're transporting the dog or you've been recommended to do so by a vet.
I’ve not watched this yet so I’m hoping I haven’t messed things up for the puppy I brought home the other day. Tilly the cat has my bedroom and window to the outside as her spot atm separated with a stair gate and they touched noses the other day!!! He keeps barking at her but despite being timid Tilly is very curious. Hope this vid gives me even more tips to help them become good friends 💙
Helping a puppy and a cat get along will be part of the human’s job! Not all animals will love each other as best friends, but with the proper introduction and positive association, you can work towards creating a peaceful co-existence in your home. We hope this video was helpful!
I have had a multi-dog household for many years now. Most of the time with two dogs, but there have been times when there were three for a while. My current dogs are 8 years old and eight months old. The older one is a gentle soul but the younger one is fearless. The puppy is now about the same size and weight as the older one and games of chase in the garden are not balanced. The pup is always the chaser and the older dog the chased one. They both seem to enjoy this game, but I would like to see the younger dog being chased once in a while.
You’re on the right track! Puppy play should look like an even game of tag, with each dog taking turns being the chaser and the chase-ee! Have you seen our video about the pros and cons of having two dogs? We go into more detail in that one about life with two dogs.

Thank you so much for these tips. I'm getting a puppy and I have a cat who is spoilt and is the king of the household so I am nervous about upsetting him but I have taken on board these tips and hopefully it will be a smooth transition...fingers crossed.
We are happy to help you!
How’d it go we have an 13 year old cat and getting a cane corso puppy. Any helpful advice? Thank you!
@@strong-finance all the best, I haven’t got my puppy yet so not sure how it will go, feeling a little nervous but I hope all goes well with your pup and your cat, the key is slow introductions 😊
@strong-finance can you tell me how that went? We have 2 British short hairs 3 years old. We are thinking of getting a mini aussie. I'm so scared!
im moving into a new flat with my friend and she has a lab pup and a pug, and I have a one year old cat
Getting a puppy tomorrow after some consideration, to help deal with a breakup. I hope I can introduce them to my cat in an appropriate manner. For the first few days, the dog will mostly be exclusively in my room or porch, away from my cat, while they adjust to the new house and new scents.
Congrats! That sounds like a good plan. Keeping them separate at first will be good. You will also want the New Puppy Starter Kit to get you started off on the right paw! howtotrainadreamdog.com
This sounds like a really great way to do it, but how long does this process typically take? We are bringing home our rescue pup (4 months old) next weekend and have 2 adult cats. I don’t want to have to keep the cats locked away from us in a spare room for a month (aside from training sessions) if it takes that long since it doesn’t seem fair for the cats. Do you have suggestions in this scenario?
There isn't an exact time frame, it will depend on the dogs and cats. We always train at out pet's pace, not our own.
Getting a Siberian Husky puppy this weekend. I have 2 maine coons. Thank you for the tips! I will definitely follow them. My new Huskys name is Teddy he is 16 weeks old. Perfect age to introduce them

Hey howd it go?
My case is a bit different. So we took a baby puppy - about 2 months old, and we have a cat in the yard, which by the way currently have two kittens to feed. (Yeah, probably not the best time to get a puppy, but it was rescued from the street)
So the issue is the cat, it is very agressive toward the pup, we try to keep them away from each other, and of course the pup stays far away from the place where the kittens are hidden away, but as soon as the distance between the cat and the puppy closes, the cat jumps to attack the pup.
So it's like we have to put a leash on the cat so it does not jump on the puppy instead of the other way around like the usual case. But of course we can't do that... Since she would feel even more threatened and become even more agressive. So we keep them far away from each other and try to shorten the distance very slowly. I feel like there is some progress, but at moments it seems like there is no progress at all.
Could I maybe put something with the scent of the puppy near the kittens to the cat get used to it? Is this a good idea or a terrible one...
You can give the cat treats in the presence of the puppy to help associate the puppy with something positive and not scary. We can guide you in a more personalized way as part of the PRO level of our online course.

What if you have multiple cats needing to be introduced? Would you do it one at a time or would you focus on the pups behaviour and monitor the cats reactions.
I would work with each cat seperately. Once cat may behave differently than the others.
I have two cats, 10 years old and 6 years old and brining a new puppy in mid January. Those people who commented here, please post the follow up. How did it go? Your puppy and cat get along okay? I’m very worried to introduce them. I don’t want to cause any undue stress to my cats.
Well I just got a dog so can you do the update on how it went? 🤣 How long did it take?
watching this because my cat is super territorial and my parents are bringing home a puppy in a few days lol, i hope this works! im doing tons of research

Thanks for watching!
I have a older dog 7 and a older cat and my family are looking to get a new puppy, my current dog is not overly friendly to other dogs she isn’t aggressive but not really interested. Im worried that being territorial she might be worse when introducing a puppy, my cat isn’t to friendly with my current dog but they get along well enough so i hope introducing a new puppy won’t be too much stress. Any advice would be appreciated.

My room mate brought a puppy home today, without my permission!!! My cat is heavily pregnant, so I'm so anxious about the new living situation
Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear this. We hope everything works out for both mama kitty and pup.
hey can you talk more about managing barking and growling. I know these are typical dog behaviours but there has to be things to do or not do to not encourage growling and barking. My puppy (5-6 months) has suddenly started barking and growling right at me.
When it comes to puppy barking, make sure you aren't accidentally rewarding your pup by looking at them or talking to them when they are barking. Do not yell out “quiet” while they are barking. Since puppies don’t understand what the word quiet means, you are actually just giving attention (negative attention still counts for most pups) and reinforcing the bark. You will also teach your pup to either ignore the word quiet because we are overusing it, or that it means to bark, if the timing happens to be just right. Remember puppies don't understand the words we speak until each word is taught to them through a one-to-one association with the behavior we want it to mean.
During times that your puppy is barking at you for either attention or something they want, take away all forms of attention. This includes eye contact, speaking to them, touching them, etc. Wait until the exact moment your pup stops barking and then say "quiet" while rewarding for quiet behavior. In the beginning, you will capture the quiet behavior as soon as they offer it. Once your pup gets the hang of this, say “quiet” as soon as they stop barking and then wait 2-3 seconds to give the reinforcement. This will help you avoid your puppy chaining the behaviors of “bark, quiet, treat.” Later you can ask for the command "quiet" when your dog barks and they will understand that it means stop barking. Until then, your pup just thinks that you are barking along with him/her or that barking is what you want.

@@HowToTrainADreamDog Amazing! thank you so much. I'll work on that :)
I live alone and I have a cat and I am bringing a puppy home within the next month. How do I use the recommended technique on feeding them if it is just me do I keep the dog and a crate or do I separate them by a baby gate or something else?
Great question! You'll be working double duty when you are tossing a treat to the cat while you're also giving your pup, who is on leash, a treat at the same time each are in the presense of each other. It might take a little planning to set up the training sessions so pup and cat are at a distance. A gate could make a great divider as long as you're not starting with both pets directly next to the gate (on oppoiste sides).
It's been 5 months since I got a shitzu puppy and my cat is not at all getting along .He is hissing and attacking the puppy .I have been trying my level best watching the videos and training them but no result yet .I feel really sad .
He’s just 8 weeks old . Rough collie
My cat thinks that our new puppy is a rat or mouse 😭😭 Because the puppy is very small and the cat is like one years old who already catch a lot of mouse.
My Australian shepherd has his tail docked
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.
My son has a dog that can be aggressive dog but I need to introduce it to my puppy some time. Should I do this on neutral ground?
If your son's dog is truly aggressive, I would advise against introducing the dog to your puppy until your son's dog has gone through training to fix this behavior.
Be back if I ever get a puppy :,)
Can I do the spray for my cat and cat nip. Our vet said cat nip is good for my one cat cuz it helps her stay calm and relaxed and not be stressed for other issues I will be brining a new puppy home 13 days
They make an adaptil type diffuser for cats too. We recommend it for your cats so they can be more calm when the puppy arrives.

Do you recommend certain breeds that get along better with cats? I've been thinking golden retriever as all around they seem a good fit for me. Is their any dog breeds i should avoid? thanks :)
A golden retriever would be great! With any breed, you are able to manage the environment and work on training so both pets are able to coexist in peace. However, there are some breeds that are more prone to pestering cats due to what they were bred for. Those breeds would be ones whose natural impulse is to hunt, herd, or chase.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog thanks so much!! I've only had greyhounds before which are lovely dogs but I worry about their high prey drive and I'm open to other dogs! Very tempted by golden retrievers 🐶

Hi
Hello!
But what to do when you're single, and your cat is used to going in and out of the house as it pleases, and you're bringing home the puppy 1 day and it basically just has to work out because all you can do is introduce them and thats that? Keeping a cat in 1 room would stress her so much whn she's used to the entire house and being able to go out whenever she wants. I planned to switch blankets between them while the puppy lives with it's siblings, so they know their scent... but what can I do?
It's really important that you set up a baby gate or pen so your pup doesn't have full access to chase the cat. You'll want to work on introductions just like outlined in the video.
My puppy isn’t afraid of the cats and only one cat isn’t afraid. One of my cats only watch from a distance while the other likes to go into the puppy’s space( The puppy is usually locked in the living room while the cats have the rest of the house.) and go drink out of her bowl and then lay down in front of her. The puppy sees the cats as another dog and tries to play with him. None of the cats have hissed at her and the puppy has never biten them. When the cats are in the puppy’s place they never take any treats. What do I do?
You can use the techniques in this video to slowly expose the puppy to each cat, while each animal gets tasty treats. When they can't see each other, the treats go away. This helps them learn that good things happen in the presence of the other animal. Be sure to teach your puppy what you want her to do when the cats are around, especially if she wants to play and the cats do not.
also, if i were to convince my parents to get a puppy, would you be okay with me explaining how you train, etc on a slide show? it would only be visible to my family :)
Why don’t you get them to watch the videos they say it all
@@wonkeydonkeydonkeychannel8566 well my parents are normally very busy with work; my father is a business owner and my mother is a sales executive. i would love to, but i would also like to give them examples of what i’ve been watching in a presentation, but thank you so much for the reply!!
@@kailiasa2829 good luck. I’ve been following this channel and another and my 15 week old pup can sit, down, give both paws, weave in and out of my legs, roll over, walk nicely on the lead and rings the bell to tell me he wants to go out to the toilet. Very good advice has helped me enormously
@@wonkeydonkeydonkeychannel8566 that is AMAZING!! i am definitely going to be sharing this information with my parents. i am so happy that you find this helpful!! what is your pups breed? :) the

Hi im bringing my puppy home in three days im excited but how do you let them settle into the house
Great question! Have you seen this video yet?
th-cam.com/video/6vkCJ1Q8Drc/w-d-xo.html
@@HowToTrainADreamDog yes I have
@@HowToTrainADreamDog we have our dog now he is settling in nicely he went potty outside for the first time and we gave him a treat.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog thankyou for the advice
My main problem is my parents introduced day 2 for my 8 week old puppy in the house to our 15 year old cat with liver problems and I managed to control his prey drive but now the problem is that my cat is being territorial and I’m not sure what to do about that
Oh no! We're so sorry to hear that. We'd recommend that you make sure that your cat's emotional cup is full. Provide enrichment to them, and make sure that your puppy is not pushing things too far with them!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog my puppy is now four months, and my cat is learning to peacefully be in the same room but they're clearly not friends, but I've caught them snuggling together here and there but it's rare
Unfortunately I can’t pick up my cat she hates this. Puppy arriving soon. Very nervous cat. I do have plug ins. Hopefully it will help.
Just be sure to take introductions slow and hold specific training sessions to help them feel good about each other. Good luck!
I am currently struggling with this. I have a blue Nose Pit who is 7 1/2 months, but is really big and has really high energy and I just got a kitten and he has been barking at her and she runs and hides under the bed or behind the toilet and I really don’t want her to get stressed out. I broke down about 30 minutes ago because I don’t want to have to remove one of them because I want them to get along, but it’s very hard to distract him because he’s still trying to learn and become well trained. He loses his focus easily and I am guilty of discipline, not with my hand, but with a rolled newspaper, and I know he doesn’t like it so I try to make him sit and smell the blanket and he notices she’s there and wherever he hears her, he just whines and when he sees her, he barks, yet his tail is wagging so I can’t tell if he wants to play or is trying to get her. He chased her under the bed. And I think it’s because she ran, but I don’t know and I really want to seek help before I become more stressed or before one of them does because I always feel bad for leaving one out because they whine and cry. I’d really love your help if you can.
Hi. Your dog needs to be tired and calm. If the dog was just laying in it's crate, my guess is that the cat would eventually become curious and go up to the dog. As long as the dog is whining and jumping at the cat, it will never feel safe around the dog.
I’m bringing my puppy home tomorrow and I’m a bit worried as everything scares my cat although she’s a house cat 😩😊
Just take it nice and slow for both animals and be sure to provide your cat some enrichment and reward too!
Okay the kitten and puppy love each other. But kitten loves to play rough. The puppy tries to be gentle because I tell him to and he's a good boy. But still. I'm afraid he'll get his eye scratched or that the puppy will accidentally hurt the kitten. What should I do?
You'll need to separate them when you notice rough play, as well as keep a consistent, structured play plan going forward!
My puppy requests play very appropriately - she sniffs gently, bounces away and play bows. If she doesn't get a response she leaves.
Unfortunately my cat is a jerk :p She likes to get up on tables, stalk around the edges and smack the puppy for walking underneath.
We're getting there though. Baby steps.
My cats are both used to dogs and they're basically fine with calm old dogs. The new puppy however wants to chase them and barks at them. I'm trying to get him to stop. Now my cats are getting very skittisch of him and spend their days upstairs. How can I make this unwanted behaviour stop?

Oh my gosh this came a month late! We brought home a new puppy and were planning on introducing them properly but the puppy escaped and now my cat hates him. We’re just trying to undo the damage.
You can still undo the "damage" by following the tips in this video and by taking introductions slow. Keep pup on a leash for now and go back to the beginning steps mentioned in this video.
How are they now? Do they get along? Or tolerate each other at least?
@@davidgandy_alt2970 he’s an adult dog now and my elderly cat still hates him. To be fair she’s never lived with another animal before and she’s very territorial. We have to keep them in different parts of the house or else the cat will actively seek him out to attack him. The dog is terrified of her even though he’s nearly 8 times her size. But it’s worked out fine since they have designated areas.
My son brought home a tiny kitten when my Shiba Inu was 3. After just one hiss, they became friends. My dear Shiba just passed away at almost 12 from cancer. I'm devastated. I plan on a new Shiba puppy this fall. Will it be easier due to the fact my cat grew up with a dog? I am going to use all your tips and take it slowly.
It may be easier since your cat is used to dogs, but every animal is unique. Just take it slow and make sure it's positive for both. And remember that puppies are very different than adult dogs and your cat may not love that puppy energy at first.
@How To Train A Dream Dog Thank you! Yes, I'm a bit worried about the puppy energy with my cat. I'll be sure to have puppy on a lead when they get to be together too.
Sending this to my mum to convince her to get a dog 😭
Good luck!
Has anybody done this with a husky puppy? Please let me know any tips
The tips suggested in this video will work, regardless of breed!
My dog did really good. I got a tiny baby Belgian malinois. I set the cat and dog on the floor distances away (before i watched this video).. my cat attacked my new puppy. My puppy is okay, he didnt get a scratch on him luckily. I feel so bad for my puppy. He is smaller than my cat by a hair. My car keeps hissing, her hair standing up and she just keeps trying to attack him over and over. We cant set the dog on the ground at all. In my case, the dog is calm and sweet and my cat is turning into a psycho. Idk what to do
Helping a puppy and a cat get along will be part of the human’s job! Not all animals will love each other as best friends, but with the proper introduction and positive association, you can work towards creating a peaceful co-existence in your home. This may take quite awhile, but make sure to take it very slow. We hope this video had some great tips you can use!
My foster puppy that my mother got a few days ago checked out my cat and got tackled, both were fine but now the puppy barks at my cat and snarls. It is scary bc I love both my cat and my new pup, now i have 2 pets that aren’t on good terms in a small house
Oh no! We're so sorry to hear about that. We hope that you will be able to set up some great management for your pets!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog well new update: my cat and dog now avoid eachother. Unfortunately while writing this comment I have a gut-ache.. and since I’m home alone I really can’t stop any conflicts between them
Be sure to give your puppy and cat their own space so they can avoid each other. Sorry to hear you are not well.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog hey there I’m better now, the puppy and my cat tolerate eachother now, after the first 5 days or so they got used to eachother so yay!
The puppy has a Rottweiler/Doberman so it’s pretty sad for people to move away from our puppy, she is a big dog with the Rottweiler colours which people think make it threatening? She is a sweet dog and she doesn’t bark a lot, she has strength behind her but doesn’t tug on her leash. Though we are still fostering we are definitely adopting her. So another yay!
People training tip for good manners, don't ever ever ask the people you want to impress for thumbs up and to subscribe until a way into your talk..👍🏼🙄🤞🏼
Thank you for your feedback!
Puppy next month 5 cats here we go
Good luck! Make sure to rewatch this video before your new pup comes home too so you're as prepared as possible!
what do you do when the cat is bigger than the dog and also more violent/grumpy
Try your best to manage the space and create safe spaces for your animals.
Anybody knows who's the President yet?🤣
I have a 2 year old cat but ik scared that if i buy a pug my cat might become jealous and leave me :(
But hopefully that wont happen cause il always love him more than anythings
Good news pets don't have jealousy like humans. What may happen is your cat gets scared of the new pup that wants to chase him. This causes stress in the cat and leads to hiding and staying away when pup is out. Be sure to work on positive introductions with both pets and go slow with the intros.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog oh thats good then.thanks 😁
Three days my brother brought a big puppy home. She already is bigger than the cat and he tolerates her. He looks at her like she is weird.
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.

@@HowToTrainADreamDog it's alright! thank you guys for replying :D

Love that profile
I'm so scared to bring a puppy to my 13y old, single child cat 😬
You've got this! Go slow. Check out this video for more ideas: th-cam.com/video/Ryfg5O6fgAg/w-d-xo.html
I just brought home my puppy 2 weeks ago. I didn't watch any videos on this. So their first meeting was.... bad
It happens! Here is our video on introducing your puppy to another dog so you can prepare for that encounter: th-cam.com/video/RDKKyCTdX4I/w-d-xo.html
My cousin's cat doesn't like her puppy
This video may be helpful for hem!
my dog is pregnant and we have two cats, im scared for the puppies tbh
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you, your pup, and your cats.
That's a puppy?
Horrible because I live alone and only saw this after 5days of my cat hidding after I brought a puppy into the house.😅
We hope this video was helpful for you! Maybe with the help of a friend you can reintroduce them in a positive way.
3 minutes of nothing. Goodbye
