how do I get my new 6 week old kitten used to the family dog?

Question

The family dog is a little bit ....hiper and wants to jump up at the kitten and the kitten growls! How do I get them used to each other Please help!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Ok. Well have one person hold the kitten, then another person holding the dog in front of the kitten. I'm pretty sure they'll get used to each other.

Answer 2

Take ur kitten and dog both for some time daily with u.

never ever leave kitten with dog without u.

they will get habituated in few days

Answer 3

keep kitty in a closed-off area, but where she can still see the dog, and he can see her. a few times a day, at the dogs most relaxed points, put the dog on a leash and lead her over to the kitten. the kitten might growl, but just stay calm (your dog will sense tension) and keep your dog steady on the leash. they will soon learn that one another is not a threat! hope this helps!

Answer 4

Give them time. Make sure the kitten has a safe place that he/she can escape too when she's had enough. Just keep an eye on them. If your dog is really just playing, your kitty should get used to him, so long as the kitty doesn't feel that she can't escape.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Take the dog to a training school and don't let your kitten get near your dog until your dog is trained to be friendly with kittens.

Answer 6

take a few damp towells and rub them all over the dogs and put them under the cats food, where it likes to be a lot, and where it sleeps, then do the same with the cat, the cat and dogs will soon get used to the smell and get along

Answer 7

Six weeks is really too young for the kitten to be able to defend himself. I suggest that you keep them apart.

Ask your vet for advice.

Answer 8

Eventually they will get used to one another,but cats do not like dogs so be aware of that...
