We have friends that have a spoiled dog and when they don't do what the dog wants she will sit and bark at them. Believe me that is not a dog that you want to be around.
The most loving thing you can do for your dog is to teach them manners. You will enjoy them more, and so will your friends and family.
Don't expect too much from er now, but at least start working on manners. I would start by not picking her up when se is scratching at you. Teach her to sit and then pick her up. |
^If I do not respond to her scratching and barking when she wants to be picked up and she would just learn to sit there, how would I know when she wants to be picked up? My puppy jumps, scratches, cries and barks at me when she wants to be picked up to sleep on my lap while I'm on my bed. I do not allow her to sleep on my bed, but she sometimes take naps on my lap when I'm on the laptop on my bed.
My puppy barks and cries while I'm preparing her food
. She just can't wait.
The problem is, she won't stop unless I put down her food on the floor.
