I have two 3 year old cats, who we’ve had since 8 weeks old and we got our springer spaniel puppy at 8 weeks also (she’s coming up to 6 months now)
We have a baby gate divinding the house in two, puppy has downstairs and cats have upstairs. Cats tend to stay out her way but every so often will venture down as is their home and they like to chill with us and cuddle in.
Puppy will go crazy (no barking just super hyper like wanting to play) and will run at/around them. She hasn’t shown any aggresion but obviously it scares the cats and they tend to run back over the baby gate and upstairs again
I’m hoping she will grow out of this and we are trying different calm techniques with her around the cats but dont seem to be making any progress.
Does anyone have any similar success stories or tips for us?
Thanks!
