DOG help: Silver is due today. - Help.com

Silver is due today.

silver is the kitten in my avatar. He will be my first cat ever. As in i will look after him, i will feed him, i will pay for him and such. The thing is, my sister owns a Staff/Labrador, he has never had a cat in the house before, and people keep telling me that he’s going to kill silver. I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! so how can i get storm (the dog) to be friends with silver? silvers only 9 weeks old if tht helps

Talk to the dog and tell storm the dilemma, he/she will understand…

I train dogs. ONe of mine excepted my new kitten like a friend. The other wanted to attack it. At he first sign of an indication the dog want to hurt it. u step boldly inbetween facing the dog and growl at it. You are telling it the kitten is part of the pack. Do this with the dog on a leash 1st.

remember u r the alpha in the house. The way u act will rub off on the dog. Dont be nervous when u try it as it will make the dog nervous. Give the dog a treat when it submits and doesnt look at the kitten.
Good luck.

Keep them in separate rooms when no one is home for a while until they get used to each other.

That would be fine, especially for a kitten. Just make sure there is fresh water, food and clean litter available.
