It's been a while since the very first pup arrived. As I remember it took some bribing with treats to get her to use them but the 3 others that were added to the family, one at a time, taught each other. My bed is much too high for them to jump on or off of so if they wanted to be near me when I was on my bed they had to use the stairs. My last puppy who is now 1 and 1/2 years was taught at the breeders house before he even came home to me. They always use the stairs to get up or down even though the king Charles could jump down if she wanted to. It's been great especially when I added a new pup to know that he wouldn't try and jump off the bed in the middle of the night. Wrong or right they have all always slept on my bed and I have felt comfortable that they wouldn't jump off. |
