Home Forums Birds & Dogs Hunting Dogs House Dog Rules

I always wanted the dog to be in and outdoors with the family or as he chooses. When getting the dog my wife disagreed vehemently she was firmly at rule number 1 at the top of your list. I didn't fight her on it, as I just kinda new I'd lose the battle but could win the war in the long run. Well we are now where I thought we'd be. The dog can come in and out a little bit...But even I am firmly against him on any furniture at any time ever. We love him but a 90 lb German Shepherd just doesn't belong on the couch and sure as hell isn't getting in the beds. He actually seems to prefer outside for a majority of the time so he can continue his patrol and security duties. Its just how he's wired.
