The kitten is 5 week old and the dog is 10 Years old Pomeragnian + Corgi. We have had the kitten for 10 days, and during this time, we kept the dog outside. We have introuced them quite a few times. The kitten always want to play with the dog, expecialy it tail and the chest (because their is a lot of fur). Both the animals are very friendly, butr the kitten seems to annoy the dog when it gets playful because the dog does not want to play. What should we do??
 
dont keep the dog outside! you need them to get used to one another.. but under your supervision. I had to do the exact same thing a couple of months ago. and now mine are fine with each other.

let the cat bother the dog. eventually the cat will notice that the dog doesnt like it.
give it time. (with your supervision) and let them do their thing. its the best you can do.

worst comes to worst.. they will ignore each other (and believe me, its not a bad thing)
 
That is wrong that you moved the dog outside simply because you got a cat. The cat will learn that the dog doesn't want to play after it barks, shows teeth, or whatever to the cat. Please don't neglect your dog simply because you got a cat. If anything, lock the cat in a room, they don't need a lot of space. .
