The big debate: to allow, or not to allow our dogs on the furniture!
I don't have a one-size-fits-all answer for this question! It all depends on your relationship with your dog. If your dog is territorial, aggressive, guards toys or food, barks excessively or has any other behavior issues I would not recommend it.
When we allow our dogs to have lots of freedom and access to our furniture, beds, etc. it empowers them. It allows our dogs to think that they have permission to make the rules. So if we are trying to curb a bad behavior, the very first thing we start with is removing access to our space.
With that being said, if your dog has zero behavior issues, then snuggle it up (but only with permission first)😊!!!
