When we first got Jade, she would jump over Shadow, which disturbed him when he was laying down. He knocked a bit of fur off of her once. Scared her another time. Anyway, a few other times in the last year, she would jump across him and he would do nothing and I would reward that. Now, she jumps across him at will and he does nothing. Also, when she wants to pick a fight she will do what cats do. She offers her side and arches her back to appear more intimidating. To a dog, side presentation is a calming signal and so he thinks she's being cool and nothing to worry about and he continues his nap, or whatever.
