I posted about this before, and I have a few questions. My dog Quinn is a little over a year old, and a terrier mix of some sort. Everyday while we are home, the kittens are let out of the bedroom to be out in the living room/kitchen with us and the dog. Quinn has calmed down a lot with the kitten, and will occasionally lay near them, but for the most part she runs after them a lot. She bites at them and paws them, but in an entirely playful manner. If I feel she is getting too rough (mainly when she chases them, and they are diving for cover) I spray her (with water) and she knows to stop.
Is there a point where the kittens will swat her and tell her to back off? Do you think she will ever get used to them, or do you think things will always be this way? I don't want the kittens hurt, but I would like them to tell her to back off. What do you think?
Oh, and she has only ever seen a cat before this, and that was only once. So, these are the only kittens she has ever really interacted with. She is a very hyper, easily excited dog, that's just how she is!
