Welcome! Our Baby Ozzy is also like our child since we don't have any. He's pretty spoiled with attention but we are firm with him in regards to behavior as he is a BETA personality. (Not top dog but a social climber
)
We don't play tug of war..well I don't...Hubby doea but he makes sure he always wins and he never never sleeps in our bed or is allowed to lay on our shoulders. We do make him wait to go out and come in the house.
I started sending Ozzy to Daycare 3 times a week when he was 12 weeks old. I know alot of people don't agree with that but it was the best thing I have done for him. He is tired when he gets home and the daycare folks helped us housebreak him so now if you take him out he goes potty and if he's inside he goes on his pad. He has great dog and people skills.
It's really hard being firm with these little ones but in the end it's worth it having a happy balanced dog. Good luck!
