Hey everyone!

First time dog owner and recently acquired a female basset puppy. We got her when she was 3 months old, and she’s now about 6 months.

We already had 3 male cats in the house prior to getting her, two of which are senior cats.

Since the beginning we’ve struggled getting the animals to mix. There is a gate we use to keep separation. At first the puppy had limited access to the majority of the house as we were going through puppy training. As she’s getting older we’re expanding that access. But every time a cat enters the space she’s in she runs up to them and is all over them, not biting or jumping on them. Just up in their business, which they very much don’t like. Running away and then staying away, feel like they are coming around less and less.

Just looking for some general tips or insights on things that may have worked for some of you.

Thank you!
