Hi all, hope this is the right plac to ask this!
I have two older moggies and a hyper 3 year old papillon dog. The two moggies dislike the dog but put up with him. He only gives chase when they run. And he won't hurt them.
So we got a new kitten (Tiger) and he is 100% NOT afraid of the dog. He tries to play with the dog (Torque). But unfortunately my dog is afraid of Tiger it seems, he tends to bark at things that he doesn't understand and he keeps running away from the kitten but also gets in the kittens face and barks. His barks are really high pitched so it's really annoying.
Does anyone know if this will pass? I'd love to see them playing together someday! We've been introducing slowly - a few hours a day or so... but Torque gets so wired when we bring the kitten in. Has anyone else had this problem before?
Here's a pic of Tiger in the dog bed :-) no barking while I took the photo!
