Also, remember that this is your dog. You get to choose what behaviors you want and don't want. Don't be intimidated if you are told you should or have to train your dog a certain way.
My Mom thinks it's adorable how her dogs go NUTS when she gets home. Many people consider that a bad behavior that should be discouraged. But hey--her dogs don't hurt anyone, they calm down pretty quick, and it makes my Mom happy. So if you think a behavior is cute or you want to spoil your dog, go for it! As long as the behavior won't put the dog or people in danger it is okay (for example, chasing people's feet--cute, but dangerous). |
