Dianne,

I have 2 SchH dogs. 1 is 4 yrs old, titled male the other is a 10 month old female. They have no problems being in the house and have been socialized with 3 cats.

Here's a couple pieces of advice for you.

1. Make sure your cats have a safe place to go away from the dogs if they so choose. Otherwise, they will be very stressed. My dogs won't kill the cats, but they will definitely chase, lick, nudge, prod and otherwise badger them to get them to run some more.

2. Clearly separate your SchH training from time at home. Save your training for when it's appropriate, not in the house.

3. Use a crate wisely. They are an excellent resource.

4. Beware of dominance issue such as marking in the house. If that happens, be prepared to change your approach.

Good luck.
