I brought two kittens home on last Saturday and my dog, 6 years old labrador, whines whenever I am playing with the kittens =( It's not like if I have play with her less since I got the cat. I will still go out and play with her or walk around the house just like before. She isn't aggressive to the kittens; in fact, she never bark at them. I think the only difference is that she is out side in the yard and kittens are in the house. But, I can't let her in, her fur will be a problem in the house especially when no body can clean the house during the week! I never have any other pet except hamsters and mouse after my family bought her. She didn't pay much attention to the rodents, but why to the cats?
Does any body know how let the dog stop whining? I told her no, but she whined louder!

Please help
Thanks!

She's wants to play with the kittens. You can do this 2 ways:

~1) Don't play with the kittens where she can see or hear you.
~2) Let her in.

Don't you know how to use a vacuum cleaner?

She's not going to stop whining with you shouting NO at her. You have a nice juicy bone? Distract her. Give your dog something else to focus on.

Dont yell she will think she is doing something wrong she is probaly confused because something is in her house and she doesnt know what it is (the kittens) she`ll stop and want to be like a mom to them im pretty sure. She also maybe be a little jelous because she isnt the one getting absoulutly all the attention. If you need help with the fur let her inside but just after you let her out maybe sweep the hair up and use a vacuum to help too.
