Instructions
Be sure your dog's food and water dishes are out of the way. Dogs can be territorial over their food dishes.
Touch the kitten, then go to the dog alone (without the kitten) and let him smell the kitten smell on you. This will give him a heads-up and won't be a big surprise to him.
Do Step 2 in reverse. Allow the kitten to smell something that the dog has been playing with or laying on. A plush toy or blanket will do.
Hold the kitten in your arms as you make the first introductions. Speak softly and calmly to both animals. Let each animal see you interacting with, and petting the other. Let them sniff each other while the kitten is safe off the ground.
Gently place the kitten on the floor next to the dog. Allow them to explore each other without interfering. A few minutes a day for several days should be enough.
After several days, when you feel that the animals are used to one another, allow them to play together on their own. Stay close by, but give them some space. When they look comfortable, and you feel comfortable, give them free reign to work out their problems on their own.
