Are all dogs sneaky little snots?
No my dogs don’t fake bark. They know we’re the masters and we make them move out of the seat. My dogs also like to curly up and lay beside us so we can share seating.T hey also have many places to lay..their 2 little beds, sofa, chair, or their sofa. Yes, I have deligated a sofa to them. It is for company and extra seating but, when no one is over they use it and look out the window. My one dog seems to enjoy blankets more though so if we curled up a little blanket on the floor that would probably solve that problem. You will need to train your dog “off”. This way he’ll move and get “off” to get a treat. Then you get your seat. You can keep using this command to keep your dog off or you can use this command to get your dog out of your seat. One of my dogs can do this the other dog I have to pick up unless she realizes I need her to move. “off” is an extremly useful command. Add–If you realize it’s a fake bark then try teaching “quiet” command so he’ll stop barking. Also, you can give
You could have them trained to not do such things =] But, honestly, I’ve never had that happen and we’d had about 4 dogs at a time haha.. I think that’s kinda’ funny, really. My current dog just takes any available seat and will jump back on there if you push him off, and our two cats do the same thing. They don’t pull any pranks to get us out of a certain spot, but they take it the second we get up!
