I baby mine all day long but at the same time they have rules to follow. All of my friends say that they want to come back as my dog. Hot Rod was my first very own dog but I lived with my sister who had (over the years) 2 german shepherds that I took care of. I don't let my yorkies act any differently than the shepherds. The basic discipline things such as jumping on me or other; barking like crazy; sitting when fed or given a treat; taking off on his own without his leash, etc.
I don't see anything wrong with disciplining your dog...it is for their benefit as well as yours. I ask myself this all the time..."if he weighed 70 lbs, would I let him do _______?"
Congrats and good luck on your new addition. |
