How to safely introduce an adult dog to an aggressive indoor cat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 4 months old

Is there is any way that my adult outdoor dog will be able to accept my adult 4yo indoor cat because my cat look like hating the dog and always hissing on her and the other dog too so I am afraid that if the dogs accidentally came into the house they might hurt the cat so is there any way to train the dogs and cat in this old age
