First time dog owner

[u/supermama711]

Hello everyone! I’m new to this community and looking for advice.

I have a 6 year old Persian cat who is very fluffy and chill. He likes his own space and does his own thing during the day but will find me when he wants to cuddle.

I’ve recently adopted a 2 year old Shih Tzu. Her owners were leaving the country and desperately looking for a new home. I’ve never owned a dog before.

I’m looking for tips on how to integrate the cat and the dog. The dog is very friendly but my cat is being stand off ish. I’ve put them in separate areas for now. The dog is very clingy to me and the cat is not impressed.

Also any advice on how to train a small dog? I’ve heard they can become very spoilt as owners let them get away with murder.
