Me and my guy just adopted a dog today after looking for the right one for a while. Her temperament was so delightful and calm we had to get her. The downside is she's 10 months and never been exposed to cats before. She's a boxer-mix. She's obviously great with kids because I have a young boy.
Anyway, I had her in her crate and one of my cats came down and she got extremely excited and barking. Of course my cat took off light a bat out of h*** only exciting the dog that much more. So, I'm hoping for some good tricks to introduce her to the cats. I don't think she is going to be bad to the cats, it doesn't seem to be in her nature, but you never know when you adopt an animal. I haven't had to do this before because I was able to see how the dog would react to cats before adoption. We didn't have the luxury this time.

It will resolve itself in time. I have currently a 7 month old Rottweiler & she treats our cats like her puppies. She kisses them & gives them love like you wouldn't believe! My Beagle still rules the roost though, LOL! When I first brought home my Rottweiler the cats hid for 3 days! God! It was so peaceful. Now they play all the time. This our 3rd Rott & all of them loved cats! Believe it or not.

leave them home alone and they will take care of it...can isolate the dog in a room with a baby gate for a day to let the see each other and the newness and novelty wear off
