Boo Boo has slept in the bed with me since the day I brought him home. I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't really believe that it makes them think they are the dominant one, they just like to be close to their people. I completely understand wanting to do things "by the book", but once I had my baby I threw the book out the window. I can't see my yorkie as a typical dog, he's like a furry little human. He doesn't act like an animal and training went easily once he started to trust me. Of course training is important, but he's managed to learn proper behavior and has had a very happy healthy life without me having to be too strict. Yorkies love their people and WANT to make them happy, and of course people love their yorkies and want them to be happy. Everything works itself out from there. |
