I have a 9 week old puppy. And he wants to get along with the cats, and i don’t want to ruin that. She plays too rough which is no fair to the cats, she bites them and runs around them in circles barking. But she bends down in the play position and is wagging her tail. The cats aren’t super fond of this so they bat at her and hiss. When the cats get up to run away she chases them. I know she just wants to play but i have to yell at her in fairness to the cats. Any tips on how to make this better?

sry but cats and dogs dont get along
keep on leash and supervise play until they all calm down.
there is no way you can have them be friends. for your cats making areas where they are safe from the dogs (like kitty condo’s) will help maximize these issues. yelling won’t help because the dog doesn’t understand what he is doing wrong. Also provide your puppy with other distractions, like playing with you or toys should help. What might help is a spray bottle with water. If your dog doesn’t like the spraying he should soon stop bothering the cats.
