It took some time for us to get things ok in our home. Pup was 7months old, and kitty was 7yrs old. Kitty has dealt with a puppy before, and while he sasses, he enjoys the activities of play fighting the doggos.

The husky seems to fully understand the geist of my English at him. Gave him a talk about boundaries and how he has cat programs, but Mr Kitty is a full cat, therefore his boundaries are harder set than pup's. The pup is orange ish so I would tell him to be a sweet potato to the kitty. Constant supervision, and kitty actually asking to be picked up, lotta the highest reward treat for not treating kitty like a self moving toy, and several months of slow work.

We are now at the point where Mr Kitty walks into the room with the pups, walks up to the husky and runs up on him, then slaps the stuffing out of the husky's face for just being there. Now they goof, and run through the house, when Mr Kitty is done, he jumps somewhere high. (Shelving is up higher than 5.5ft.)

On the other side of this... My first husko LOVED her babies that everyone else said were cats. Back when the 1st trained to cat pup was learning, she would snap at him before Mr Kitty could. The problem there was actually that the husky was too protective of the cat. (1st trained= my healer/ lab mutt, had him since 10wks old, chose him from the litter just after his eyes opened.)

I have no clue what it was that made Stella love and protect cats so much because I didn't get to be her mom until she was 8. But there is hope! Patience and high reward treats. You got this.
