Introducing cats and dogs
Step 1: Choose a good location for the first meeting
Step 2: Separate the animals
Step 3: Make leashed introductions
Step 4: Allow unsupervised interactions
If the dog stares at the cat or the door separating the cat, try to distract him and get him to look away with treats, a happy voice or by gently guiding the dog away on a leash.
Once the dog is away from the cat, try offering a treat. If he takes it, repeat this process until he is no longer focused on the cat or door.
