I would say that it is going to take a while for things to settle down. Your dog is not used to having cats around and obviously the cats are not used to being chased. I never had a dog vs cat problem until Gracie. I was raising a litter of kittens when I first got her. They kind of grew up together but Gracie still feels she is the boss of all cats. As a puppy she sometimes would chase the older cats. She knows she is not supposed to do it but sometimes when she is playing she may decide to give one of the cats a little chase. Most of them know how to deal with her now. One likes to wrestle with her. You need to keep telling your dog not to bother the cats but complete compliance may not happen right away. Stick to it though because these dogs have an inborn desire to chase other critters. |
