I am not the right person to give you advice, I have a SBT look up over excitable in the dictionary and there will be a photo of my dog.

I brought two kittens home, I had never seen so much aggression from sweet 7 weeks old kittens in my life. Both hubby and me thought we had made the biggest mistake of our lives.

I kept the kittens crated in Dukes presence having said that I take Dukes out for many hours at a time so the kittens had lots of quality time exploring while hubby supervised.

Firstly the kittens will adjust to their environment ie boisterous dogs, kids etc., it just takes time and your dog will settle down. My avatar shows how calm Duke is with the kittens which were about 12 weeks old at the time of that photo.

I helped the bonding between my dog and the kittens but that went a bit too far as Duke assumed the role of Dad to the kittens and does even today.

I started by putting a toy on the settee and placing the kittens on the settee the toy kept them occupied, I let Duke into the room he wasn't allowed to jump up on the settee but he was allowed to sniff although I put him in the sit position as often as necessary, he was harnessed and leashed, so I had full control of him, plus plenty of treats to reward good behaviour.

The kittens were always allowed to sleep in their crate, it avoided possible accidents ie being trampled on.

Good luck and keep us posted
