Why is my Pug/Cavalier mix puppy afraid of cats?
That makes sense. But what can I do to help my puppy get over his fear of cats?
Gradually introducing your puppy to cats in a controlled environment can help him overcome his fear. Start by having a friend bring over a calm and friendly cat and allow your puppy to observe from a distance. Reward your puppy with treats for calm behavior around the cat. Over time, you can slowly decrease the distance between them and eventually, they may even become comfortable with each other.
