Dog Training: "hot Tips For The Bedroom"
By Martin Olliver
“Honey, you know I don’t like it when you lick my ears.”
“Umm… It wasn’t me. Wait, where’s the dog?”
Studies show that about half of the people who own dogs allow them on the bed. Most owners I know account for the half that do. If you are one of them, here’s a few things to keep in mind.
* You should not let puppies or untrained dogs ON the bed, let alone sleeping on it. Their early training is the time when you establish your dominance and their boundaries. Only adult dogs should earn this privilege.
* Also puppies run the risk of house training accidents. Beds are difficult to clean, and the fact that they can preserve the scent means that your will want to be a repeat offender.

* Have a command for them to get off the bed too (if they are being restless and disruptive this can save a good night’s sleep, and it beats shoving them off).

It can sound similar, but a moan will occur without any aggressive posturing, for example, their mouth will be shut and lips not curled, and they won’t be making eye contact - their eyes might even be closed!)
* Don’t ever let your wedge itself in between you and your partner. This
