RE: A lot of patience required when trapping a dog in need of help

Patience goes a long way to winning a dogs trust and lets hope she can make a full recovery. Our ex stray took a good few months to settle in even if he does not like our cat that was here before him. I am slowly getting him used to the cat because it is limiting the freedom for both of them.

Getting dogs used to cats does take some time. It seems as though it is just in their DNA to fight and fear one another. Most of our dogs and temple dogs are used to cats being around but like you say, they merely have to be in one another's presence for a certain amount of time before they get used to it.

Yes it is the time factor that generally works the best.
