It's common for some pet owners to set strict rules for their dogs, including a ban on getting on the couch. However, there seems to be little point in this practice. So why might it ultimately be better to let your dog get on the couch?

Understanding dog behavior

Dogs are social animals by nature. They're looking for company and comfort, and what better way to snuggle up and feel close to their owners than a comfy couch? Dogs naturally want comfortable places to rest and relax.

Additionally, it's important to understand that dogs don't associate getting on the couch with dominant behavior, as some people think. Your dog is unlikely to get on the couch to claim dominant status. Dogs are simply looking for comfort and closeness from their owners.

The benefits of leaving your dog on the couch

Allowing your dog to get on the couch can strengthen your bond with them. Just spending time with your dog can increase your levels of oxytocin, the happiness hormone. It can also reduce stress and anxiety for you and your dog.

Also, if your dog is properly educated, he will understand that the couch is not a right, but a privilege. He will only learn to ride when you give him permission, which will reinforce his discipline and respect for your rules.

Concerns and solutions

Some people worry that letting their dog get on the couch will cause cleanliness issues or wear and tear. However, these problems can be easily solved by practical solutions. You can use a couch blanket or protector to minimize wear and tear and make cleaning easier.

In short, forbidding your dog to sit on the couch is not very useful and could even harm your relationship with him. The important thing is to set clear rules and make sure your dog understands them. This will keep your home clean and keep your dog comfortable.

Your dog does not have to eat after you!

The alpha male theory is a widely held belief that suggests that a dominant hierarchy must be established between owner and dog, and that the owner must eat before his dog to assert his leadership position. However, recent research has questioned this theory and has shown that establishing a relationship based on trust and cooperation is more beneficial for dogs and their owners. It is therefore no longer appropriate to have your dog eat after yourself. We explain to you why!
