Hi Val,
I have to agree with Gary on the sofa debate. Most well trained dogs
will have absolutely no problem identifying what the house rules are.
Barty our elderly lurcher with physical problems has his own sofa, but
he knows that is the only one he is allowed on. Young Jet has a comfy
memory foam dog bed and isn't allowed on the furniture (although I have
a sneaking suspicion that he is taking advantage at night.
We have no problems with aggression or any other bad behaviour because
both dogs know their place in our household and what they can and can't
do. I believe most problems occur when people treat dogs like human
beings and they are allowed to do whatever they like. Dogs, like
children, if they are allowed to behave as they wish with no regard to
the other beings in the world will turn into hooligans and develop
bullying and selfish tendencies. We all need to obey the rules of
society - dogs and human beings.
