I have a 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. I call him my 98.6% good boy. He has great temperament, doesn’t pull on walks and is just overall a really good and well behaved dog so far by nature. (I didn’t know they made them at the factory like this lol)
But as a sit and watch him in the yard right now, he’s doing what GPs love to do. They kinda dig their own spots and just kinda like to gaurd the yard and he’s content. I personally have been trying to get him to lay on a raised dog bed because I feel like fleas or allergens are getting to him but he ain’t about the raised dog bed life.
I dunno just rambling 🤷 it might be something we continue to work on or I might let him have a pass since he seems to enjoy it. But I should mention that he does sleep with me and likes to burrow under the covers, which is another thing I’m trying to dissuade but sometimes when I’m in deep sleep he wiggles his way in and get away with it.
Do any of you give your dogs similar “passes”?
Just like in humans I feel like there’s behaviors and there’s personality traits. But since we can’t communicate with dogs the same way we do each other, the line gets kind of blurry.
Does it bother me that my fluffy girl refuses to share a bed or couch with people? Yeah, but that’s her preference, it’s what makes her her.
