Is the German Spitz good with cats?

Yes, the German Spitz can be good with cats, but they typically need to be raised alongside them from a young age. These pups can be prone to chasing smaller animals, such as cats, so positive reinforcement training and early socialization with their feline counterparts is crucial. 

Introducing a German Spitz to cats requires patience and planning. Start by creating a safe space for the cat and familiarize them with each other’s scent using bedding or a cloth. During controlled meetings, keep the German Spitz on a leash, allowing the cat to approach at their own pace. 

Monitor their body language and keep initial interactions short, gradually increasing time together as they become more comfortable. Use treats and praise to encourage positive associations. Once they’re at ease, allow supervised interactions. Providing separate spaces for both pets will help them feel secure as they build a positive relationship.
