Ok I appreciate all ur advice but I need more!!
My dog is not big and not so small she's strong and I can't have her in a room by herself because she will find a way to eat through something and escape I guess I can have her sleep with me at night and let her out and cage her during the day but one problem!! My cat sleeps with me at night what do I do about that now? I could cage him up at night and have the dog sleep with me and in the morning let the cat run free can I? Or is that not fair to my kitty omg I have a huge problem!!!
P.s I really don't trust my dog around anyone not because she's mean but because she's strong and hyper and I don't think anyone can handle her.

Crate both of them and sleep with a human or alone. Animals do not belong on the bed!!!

I missed part 1 so I don't have all of the facts but..... by the sound of things at this point it seems like "discipline training" is the biggest issue. I'm not sure of the ages are of your pets and the older the cat is may make it take a bit longer or a bit harder for the cat to accept but it can be done. There is no reason why you and both of your pets can't share the bed or at least the same room. It happened in my family. When we had to introduce 2 older dogs and an older cat all from separate homes to live under one roof. The introduction process was slow and easy. We took turns leaving one in the bed room with the door shut allowing them to sniff, growl, bark whatever at each other. We kept leashes on the dogs so things didn't get too out of hand and we could pull them back when necessary. At the same time saying 'no'. There were a couple of scuffles between the dogs nothing serious and a couple of snaps at the cat but that was about it. We were lucky both dogs mind extremly well. When it came to the bed the cat slept at the top of the bed and the dogs slept at the foot at each corner with me and another blanket seperating the dogs..... Call me crazy..... But I truely love my animals. And those who don't will never get it. Good luck ! You really have to get your two pets to accept one another. Or at least put up with the other ..... Once again good luck

You under estimate the abilities of many people. Why do you think you are strong enough to handle your dog but no one else is? Do you think you are that much stronger than everyone? It was just an odd statement.
First, it is a personal decision whether or not you allow your dog to sleep with you. If you want to do that, why not just shut your bedroom door and let the cat go sleep where ever it wants?
While gone from the house, if the dog is not completely trained, I would crate it. It's the best solution.

Pit bulls by nature are more aggressive than some other breeds of dogs. Nonetheless, it's in fashion nowadays to make the Pit out to be a mindlessly violent dog. The frequency of Pit attacks is slightly higher than other dogs but I think many factors contribute to this. The Pit has replaced the Rottweiler as the dog most commonly used by "tough guys" and as watchdogs and is frequently found in houses where they are maltreated and badly socialized. In the 80's the Rottweiler was the dog that was used this way and at that time it had a higher percentage of attacks than the Pit. There are quite a few dog breeds that can be aggressive by nature and owners need to keep that in mind. Appropriate steps should be taken to make sure the dog never has an opportunity to harm someone. I have Pit Bull, Chow mix that isn't very friendly with strangers. As a result I make sure he is never outside without a leash and don't let strangers approach or pet him.

I have my cat in her own room at night (where her food, litter and toys are) and the dog crated. Its a fair solution, and everyone is happy. And you can do whatever you want - you are the human and need to be in control of your animals. Train the dog to sleep on the floor or crate it.

Is she a Jack Russell? They're both wonderful and terrible. Fun little clowns! They *can* be trained, but it's time-consuming and expensive. They need TONS of exercise. They're also intelligent, so they're easily bored.
Best of luck to you all. Be patient. If she's like the JRs I've know, you'll end up with a great companion for you and your cat!

Maybe you aren't giving your dog enough credit. Socialize her around people so that she can be with others. If you neglect to allow her to be around others, you will find that she could become intolerant of others coming around.
Let the dog and cat sleep on the bed. Don't tolerate them bugging one another. If they can't get along, then crate them both at night.

I don't understand. Is your question where to have the dog sleep?
