What are the chances of training an adult golden retriever to co-exist with a cat? Here's my situation: I am watching a golden retriever of some friends of ours for several weeks while they get some landscaping work done on their house. They and their three kids have never really paid much attention to the dog, have always kept her outside and I don't really think they want the dog. My hunch is that when their work is done and it's time for the dog to go home they will ask us if we just want to keep her. I wouldn't mind doing that, but we have an entrenched cat in the house who wouldn't take kindly to sharing the roost. Also, since she's spent her whole life outdoors (5 years or so) I'm wondering if there's any chance I could "domesticate" her so she could stay indoors. Any help / ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Thanks everybody for your thoughts. This dog is definitely a sweetheart, I make it a point to play fetch with her for an hour or so a day and she absolutely loves it. I think I will bring her in and put her in her crate and see what happens. Right now the cat keeps a watchful eye on the goings on in the backyard from his window perch, it's actually pretty funny to watch. Not to bring anybody down, but in the week plus I've had her all I've gotten from her owners is one email asking how she's doing. None of the kids are clamoring to come visit her or anything. I know when I was a kid if our dog were to go away somewhere for any length of time I would have been bugging my mom and dad to go for a visit.

It's a little less than a mile most nights, but some nights I go longer and it's a little more. She loves to go for a walk but the last 5-10 minutes or so she is usually slowing down and seemingly getting tired. Is a mile long walk OK? P.S. - She's a cool dog. Heather... Thanks for the tip. I've only been walking her at night. I live in the Phoenix area so i need to be really careful about times so as not to burn her paws, etc..

By the way she's about 5 years old I think and in what I would consider average shape. I also play fetch with her in the morning, she goes bonkers for that.
