Answer 1

How old are the Kittens? They natually are looking for a place to Nurse. But no they are not nursing, it will be perfectly fine, actually probably great they will develop a strong bond with your puppy.

Answer 2

Um...are you worried that your male dog is suddenly going to sprout nipples and be a female?  Because...um...that can't happen.

Calm down.  Your kittens may be looking to him as a "mommy" or "daddy" of sorts but that's about it.  If you don't want them to do it, have a spray bottle of water handy and squirt towards the kittens when they start to do it.  It won't take long for them to learn better.

Answer 3

My aunt lives on a farm with a lot of stray cats she took in her barn, she also has a dog who usually stays outside, and all of the kittens do this to him, and learn just to lay with him. The dog actually takes care of the kittens anytime theres something he dosnt think is safe he stops them and will actually care and groom him as the kittens do to him as well. Theres nothing wrong with it its just a a bonding but between to different species

Answer 4

Stop them every time you see the behavior.  Just like with human toddlers...redirect their behavior  :)

Answer 5

I think it is fine. Maybe they are just bonding and getting warmth. Let them bond and they will be friends when they get older.

Answer 6

Don't worry!!! They will grow out of that. I must admit that I am amazed by your patient dog.  

Answer 7

just stop them every time they do it.
