I wonder what the dog trainers on here think about it? Would they suggest we discourage it. I know I am not encouraging him to grow up at all. OMG he looks like a puppy (all roly poly and round) and he certainly acts like one. He is a real Mama's boy. Even the other dogs treat him like a puppy. He is the youngest and only male. Just this week he finally got brave enough to jump up on the couch without being picked up.
(He never has had a problem jumping down. ) LOL
