Now someone else may think that is a very undesirable behavior and need to train their dog not to do it. I dont see a problem with it it doesnt effect anyone but us that have to see it he doesnt do it all the time and I dont see the harm in it. If he were a bigger dog though I wouldnt allow it. IK know there are other examples of this this was mine. I dont think people should sweat the small stuff |
I agree with you to a point, but, there is some stuff that people may think "at the time" is small stuff that doesn't effect anyone but them, but later on down the road realize it does or will effect others. the humping the toy, probably not, but other acts yes. just as an example, the humping the toy thing. Do you have any children? If not, how would you feel about it if someone you love came over with a child and your dog did that in front of the child. perhaps you wouldnt have a problem with that, perhaps you would, I dont know. or how would the childs parents feel about it. Wonder if the dog decided to start humping the child? .....lol. I guess just what im saying is think of possible occasions where different actions could later become a problem.
