    If they did not grow up together then you need to spend time with both of them to get them to know each other well.

    It really depends on how they are reacting now. Can you give more detail?

    Is the dog being aggressive towards the cat or just chasing or being pushy?

    What breed would also help as well, breeds like sight hounds generally don't get along with cats as they are bred to chase, while other breeds like toys will be more inclined to get along.

    Training will differ depending on the situation.

Dog and cat [ 2 Answers ]

How should I go about re-introducing my dog to my cat. My dog and my cat were the best of friends for the longest time, my cat would always walk by him and rub up against him. Also when we go for a walk at night my cat follows us(sometimes I have to carry her home so other dogs don't attack her)....
