Dinky had LP and ligament surgery just about 5 weeks ago. The surgeon said that because he operates on so many injured dogs, that he does not allow his dogs on the furniture. I feel as if I can't quite turn back the clock with Dinky bc he is 5 years old now. Still, the plan is to train him to use stairs to go up and down from sofa. I thin we can train him; he is pretty cooperative.
I think though that his days of being on a sofa without one of us around are over. All he has to do is get excited about something he sees or hears, and just once, he could forget to use the stairs. |
