Hi all – we recently adopted a staffordshire bull terrier (not sure if she’s full bred or not) into our home with a medium sized terrier and two cats. Our bull terrier has been pretty good with learning commands though she needs more training. We have the house basically separated in two by a gate. Our staffy has been pretty good at the gate watching the cats eat and move around on the other side. I’m just unsure how to go about the next steps for introducing her to our cats.
From what I’ve read, it seems I should get her a bit closer to the cats while on a leash and reward calm behavior (I’m just resorting to sit as it’s incompatible with chasing behavior). But as soon as she starts to get overexcited (bc she will) I should remove her back onto the other side of the gate.
Is this the best way to go about it?
