Teaching old dogs new tricks??
    #19224906 - 12/03/13 11:18 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I moved in with my new GF and things are good:smile:

The one issue I have is that she lets her three dogs and cat sleep in the queen size bed with us. Im am being chill about it but have voiced myself because it really annoys me.
I like to be able to role around, stretch out cuddle and move at night but these dogs are constantly in the way even when we sex it up. I get little room and it gets so warm that I don't even use blankets.

The dogs are her babies and got her through lonely time so i'm understanding but to me they are killing the sleep and intimate environment. They curl up on us, in between us, if I move they compete for the new spot immediately sometimes. And they fart:lol:

They are two female dachshunds and one male grey hound and this is there nightly ritual they have always known.

Does anyone have suggestions on training them to sleep on the floor or living room, or am I the one who just needs to adjust seeing it was there environment first. I could deal with a nightly rotation of one on the bed but FOUR animals and the two of us is just to much heat and no room.

If they are her pets, they probably see her as authority, so I doubt they'd even listen to you. It's important to get her to help re-train them.
You pretty much have to give them treats when they lay on the floor, play with them on the floor, give them a doggie bed, put toys in their beds, and have some kind of consequence for getting in your bed.
It will take a while, but they have to know that the floor is good, and bed is bad.
I am majoring in psychology, we had a one day discussion on animal psychology & training. It's not that simple, but it's basically what I learned that day lol

Can't you just close the door while they're not in the room?

Yeah, idk what to tell you then OP, that would be pretty annoying... I don't really like dogs as inside pets to begin with honestly.

Thanks guys..
Yeah cats are not trainable :lol: but the cats doesn't have that needed nervous energy and isn't so bad, does her own thing :shrug:.

I am talking to her about it, seams she is more dependent on them than I thought.
I think the dogs will be happier and more relaxed with some training IMO. There emotions are messed up because they feel if they are not touching or on her there is something wrong. I just like a chill environment.

My thinking is treats for getting off the bed, five min time outs for getting on the bed (outside bedroom door), treats for not jumping up when let in the room and immediate time out again if they do jump up.

and yes they will whimper and scratch if we put them outside the room.

How does she feel about you training and disciplining her dogs?  I am kind of edgy about that, i dont like anyone telling my dogs what to do except for myself or my family, but I also stay on top of them so they arent annoying people.  She should show some respect towards you though at a least a little if you are being so tolerable

To me a big problem would be that its a QUEEN sized bed, that is so tiny for two people and 4 animals.  Switch it up to a Cali King and maybe that will solve the issue, make em sleep at the end of the bed or something instead of inbetween you two.

The dogs and cat help her through her lonely times. Gently remind her that she isn't lonely anymore because she now has you.

I would be extremely annoyed be this because I too like to move, stretch, roll, etc. Plus the heat they emit must be like sleeping next to 4 block heaters.

My sleep is in my top 3 most important things in my life.

I would most definitely do something about this and I wouldn't respond politely if she denied my polite requests.

Last time I dog sat I was warned the dog liked to sleep on the bed. The first time the dog jumped up I let out a major roar. The dog took off down the hall and for the duration of it's stay it was quite content to sleep on the floor.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
