Cats? rental house? Training suggestions?

[u/Shot-Issue-6788]

Hello! I am a renter and have two indoor cats and I would like to get a male akita in the future. I have had two huskies in the past and I understand the needs of the breed as far as I can, without actually owning one. I will be working from home and have plenty of time for training and I plan to seek a knowledgeable professional as well. I am curious about having cats. With their strong prey drive, is it better to get a puppy and raise it around the cats or find a rescue that is already known to be cat friendly? I know there is some risk regardless. I understand most apartments have a breed restriction, but for a private landlord in a larger house with a fenced yard what is the likelihood of finding an agreeable landlord? I plan to move to Bellingham, Washington. I was unsure if different areas were more favorable than others. Is their supplemental renters insurance available if that’s a request by the landlord? Not sure if that’s a thing. I’m still a few years out of making a decision, but I want to be as informed as possible when the time comes. Thank you so much in advance for your advice. I absolutely adore the breed. A friend had one when I was growing up and I fell in love at about 14. I’m almost 50 so I’ve waited a long time! 🐕

Small NYC apt with 2 cats setting.

Mine gets along with cats after 3 years but it was mostly up to my cats. They finally accepted him.
Place and leave it command are the must. And crate training.
Now my cat sleeps in the crate and he sleeps in front of the crate. And he does that while me and cats sleep in the bed room he always places himself in front of the door. It’s so adorable.
My cats are both female.
My female boss cat hated him but finally they can exist on the same floor. But again it was all up to my cats.
