šWhat should I do if my dog tries to attack the cat?
Intervene immediately by redirecting your dogās attention with firm commands and rewarding them when they obey. Never punish aggressively, as this can increase anxiety. Separate the pets and gradually repeat introductions, always supervising and ensuring a safe environment.
