I sometimes feel so bad because i don't play with her and she looks like she really wants to play. And i feel so bad when i say "NO" and she gives me that sad look. Is it ok for me to not feel bad? |
There's nothing wrong with saying no, you can make your dog too demanding by letting him call all the shots. I believe kids and dogs feel safer knowing they aren't the boss, you are, it's a tough job being the alpha. Just don't make the mistake of some and only giving them attention when they are bad.
