Yes my dogs and my foster dogs are allowed on my lounge and bed.
No this does not mean they think we are on the same level and that we are equals.
There is a lot of false information and misunderstanding about allowing dogs on your bed or lounge.
If you have a good working relationship and strong leadership with your dog, you will have no issues with them being allowed to be on your bed or lounge.
If you ask your dog to move or get off and they ignore your command, chuck a tantrum, growl or give you attitude about it. Then you don't have a good working relationship with them, they think they make the rules and you are only there to serve them.
If that's the case then you need to work on your relationship with your dog, change the dynamics in the home and become the leader.
My dogs sleep on my bed and lounge, if I tell them to move or get off, they listen. They do not paw me and carry on trying to get back up, they get off and will go to their own bed until I invite them back up.
If you'd like the change the dynamics in your home to have a better relationship with your dog and a more relaxing, pleasant home life with them, please reach out. I would love to help you achieve this.
