It has gotten so bad that my cat can't even walk around the house without being chased. I can monitor it when I am home, but I work all day. I don't want my cat to be scared to walk aroud.

It will take time for both to settle in with each other. Cats can jump to safety and will. Once the cat has had enough it will let the pup know. The pup just wants to play and is curious about this other furry critter. Believe me, if there is a fight the cat will win and that will end the problem.
However, have spent years fostering cats and dogs. I found it best to let them work it out. Right now it is a game and they will tire each other out! Put the cat's food up where dog can't get.
If you can get hold of both and spend some quality time introducing that might help. The cat probably won;t be interested!

I comprehend it rather is problematical (I also have a 2 and 6 year old besides as a cat and a sparkling kitten). What I do is sit down with the two year old and gently tell her "Be marvelous to the kitty, be comfortable" and then I say "See, comfortable?" in a delicate, calm voice mutually as exhibiting her the thank you to correctly puppy the cat. you may desire to get down on their point and be quiet approximately it. She watches me and listens and gently pets the cat and that i compliment her "good interest! That replaced into so marvelous! Kitty likes it once you're marvelous to her!" or in spite of.. Yeah she nevertheless chases the cats around as quickly as in awhile and gets excited yet for the main section she retains a distance and is marvelous to them.

I have 3 dachshunds, two of them are puppies. They want to play and they don't care who they play with. They just see your cat as a playmate. If you are worried about the cat while you are not home you should be crate training him. All responsible owners should crate train. It is the best way to to housebreak and also make sure they don't get into trouble when you aren't home
Check with your local humane society and see if they have crates for sale. The one close to me will sell the small ones for 10 dollars

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/am6Cw
So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!
Step 1 : Sit
This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.
• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.
• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.
• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.
Step 2 : Come
This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.
• Put a leash and collar on your dog.
• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.
• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.
Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.
Step 3 : Down
This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.
• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.
• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.
• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.
• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

Get rid of one or the other. Actually the cat can defend itself and will show the dog in time, in fact I would worry more about the pup than the cat. Cat bites can be dangerous as far as infections.
