If you want to enjoy living with dogs keep your dogs rules:
Feed dogs scheduled mealtimes (no free-feeding), after humans eat
Dogs goe after humans through doorways
Never play tug-of-war with dominant
dogs
If you establish eye contact, dog
must avert gaze first
Dogs are never allowed to bite or
mouth anyone
Dogs sleep on the ground, not in the bed
Petting or attention to dogs
should be given when HUMAN
decide to provide it.
Absolutely
NO PETTING when dogs nudge or
paw you
Games with toys, especially fetch,
are initiated and ended by the human
Dogs are never allowed on furniture,
especially if uninvited
The command “sit” should
be obeyed before any pleasurable
interaction (eat, pet, play, going
out etc.)
Dogs
should never be left unsupervised
with children or anyone who cannot
maintain
leadership over a dog
Dogs must move if in your path, on
a floor or stairway etc., even if
you are able to step over him
Dogs must not be
allowed to sniff or eliminate anywhere
he wants. One mark against one tree is enough!
Everything belongs to you: dog toys,
dog crate, the dogs food bowl, the dogs bed…
they are only on loan to the dog!
You should be able to clean, move,
handle
or remove any item at any
time without hassle from the dog
