Why is my Maltese/Husky puppy afraid of cats?
That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any advice on how I can help my puppy overcome this fear?
One approach would be to gradually introduce your puppy to cats in a controlled environment, such as a room in your house or a friend's house where you know the cat is friendly and comfortable around dogs. You can also try positive reinforcement techniques, such as giving your puppy treats or praise when he shows calm or friendly behavior towards cats.
