It sounds like you have the dogs very well trained. I love that you and your Belgian had a mutual understanding. Very funny. Hi Kabbage.

My late Belgian and I further compromised -- I pretended I didn't know she got up on the couch and/or bed when I wasn't home and she pretended she wasn't on the couch if I came home unexpectedly and quietly enough to catch her in the act. I hope to get a puppy early in 2009 and plan to teach him that he's not allowed on the furniture. When he's older then I'll switch to the permission route.

Interesting article. For me it isn't a dominance issue. I AM in charge. It is mainly a matter of them totally taking it for granted and jumping on the couch as soon as they are in the house. They are in and out so much that they are just making the furniture way too dirty. Hi Laurie. Interesting article. For me it isn’t a dominance issue. I AM in charge.

The dogs certainly get enough exercise. They are outside for hours every day. I have seen Cesar Milan on TV and he is great to watch. Your tips are great for for many dog owners and will be very helpful. The girls are responding very well to their new down on the floor routine. It was just a bad habit they were easily allowed to get in to. Hi DogLover
