Current Events > being polite to your pets

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im having a dilemma. My dog is normally on a sleep schedule.... but for the past few days decided to sleep in my room. i stay up late and like to go make late night snacks. My dog normally goes tp bed and wakes up with my dad. This causes cat problems. im bad at stories.

is this a problem where the dog wakes you up in the morning? i can help with that.

just take it out and go back to bed, i do this all the time. try not to get too sore at it (it would probably do the same for people if the roles were reversed).

i kinda yell at my dog too but not the overwhelming make the dog scared sort of way i just ask for 5-10 minutes to wake up.

I love having half outdoor cats because if they are being punks you can always put them outside lol

Dogs exist in a pack mentality so they would "understand" if you wanted them to go lay down somewhere else. It would reinforce your position in the hierarchy as well which is normal to a dog.

stubborn trait does something to a dog. it won't listen sometimes. i had to make my dog move off the bed so i can put the sheets on. had to budge her off the bed in a soft manner and get her to move till i got finished.

she seems to really love my bed and is welcome to sleep on it (i have low demands) for the dog though she gives more than i can ever repay her in her entire life.

In her mind she is above you then and judging by your description of how you interact that's not too shocking. Gotta switch that up or just learn to compromise.
