Dogs often like to sleep on beds or sofas.
In this article, we will tell you how to wean your pet from this habit.
Why do dogs love to sleep on a bed or sofa
Not only do dogs stay warm around you, but they also feel more protected and safe.
The desire to sleep next to the owner is instinctive, since in your presence the animal feels more familiar and comfortable.
Their natural instinct to protect their family may also play a role in their preference to sleep next to a human.
How to stop your dog from sleeping on the sofa or bed
When you go to bed, tell your dog the “place” command. At the same time, gently guide your pet onto the bed with your hand.
Most importantly, praise when the pet returns to its sleeping place.
If the dog asks to come to you or climbs onto the bed, do not scold the animal, but repeat the ritual with the command again.
When training your dog to sleep on the sofa, be prepared to deal with depression and stress in your pet.
Place a dog bed next to your bed and reward your pet with his favorite treat.
