he stares at Storm(the kitten) and then barks at her. Then rushes towards her and the kitten ducks under the futon and Bear goes back to his bed. Then it starts all over with the kitten walking over to his bed hissing at him, he growls she runs a lil ways...
Well besides that Bear passed another one of my tests. I walked him while pushing the double stroller with my two youngest children in it. He did GREAT!!! We had to walk by a husky, he did NOT try to run to her. He just trotted by with ears perked up and tail held high. Listened to me while we walked by...I think im in love...lol.
I guess the reason he was labelled mix was because he has a long coat!!
It is incumbant on you to keep the cats safe from the dog. Growling is a warning that more can follow and if you do not intervene NOW, more will and a cat may die as a result.
Separate dog and cats when you are not right there. Crate the dog or separate the cats physically in some other manner.
When you are there, if the dog growls at the cat, intervene by stepping between her and the cat and moving into the dog's space leaning over (I do a little cha cha move). Say 'MY cat' when you do this.. not that the dog knows what that means but it reminds YOU of what you are communicating to the dog with body language.
My GSD loves her cats (but I still physically separate the dog and cats when I am not there to supervise). She takes a submissive stance when a cat hisses at her.. ears down, tail wagging (yeah.. looks sad.. LOL). Oliver (the youngest cat) will steal food out of Atka's dish and the dog says nothing. He will even take food out of her mouth and she doesn't seem to care (we worked hard to have her NOT resource guard). all the cats will play with her toys and will walk under neath her and wind around her legs (like they do with people). She stands there and watches them and wags her tail in big, wide, sweeps.
That is what you are going to try for with your dog.

i believe the guy. He came with all his vet records. He has been tested for heartworm and was on tri heart plus. Rabies was done 3/25/09 and is good till 3/25/12. Im taking him to the vet for a check up to see why he is skinny.
this kitten could test the patience of a saint.It is incumbant on you to keep the cats safe from the dog. Growling is a warning that more can follow and if you do not intervene NOW, more will and a cat may die as a result.
