So much so, he has left the house and refuses to come back in. He is 2-3 x larger than the new puppy and has not been touched or even sniffed by the pup. Any suggestions for getting him back in the house and atleast coexisting with the pup. I have a 3 y/o cat who is deathly afraid of my new 8 week old puppy.

I had a 10 year old dominant male cat that had been with me since he was a kitten. Introducing them was not going well. I tried everything all the professionals recommend. From a reward system to making loud noises any time they appeared to be about to fight. It had gotten to the point I was getting ready to find a new home for the dog. A co-worker/small farm owner friend of mine had been telling me for over a month to stop trying to introduce them and just let them work it out on there own, in a last ditch effort I did this. I took down all the gates that were used to keep them separate and went about my day at home. At first it was a bit hairy, and I kept wanting to get involved. But by that night the cat had let the dog know who was in charge and they have been fine ever since. For the first few weeks I continued to keep them separate while away from the house and at night. Once I was sure things would be ok I didn't separate them at night or while away.This might have worked given the docile friendly nature of the dog.Had he been the aggressive/dominate type I don't know if I would have been so successful. I have told others to try this and they have found it works also. They never grew to be best friends like I had hoped but they learned to consider. Like my friend said I was trying to use rational HUMAN solutions. There animals let there animal instincts and behaviors figure the problem out. He was right...It worked About 4 years ago I took in a 5 year old male black lab. I had a 10 year old dominant male cat that had been with me since he was a kitten.
