I don't really understand what exactly you mean by babying.
Some people would call dressing your dog babying.
Some would say letting them sleep with you is babying.
Some say not letting them outside alone is babying.
Some say feeding a diet that they like is babying.
Some say not making them follow the rules is babying.
Some say putting them in a stroller or carrying them is babying.
So, were you talking about a certain area in particular?
Ellie doesn't like following rules but is usually forced to.
She hates other dogs but I can't make her like them.
She marks her territory but I can't hold it in her.
I don't let her outside alone. It is dangerous.
She gets homemade food and we are both happy about it.
She has a stroller and is usually carried in public because she marks and growls. I'm not paying $400 for a trainer because they are going to tell me not to let her on the furniture or in bed with me...yeah right. Not going to happen. So yes, Ellie is babied but she usually ends up following the rules when forced to.
