Is it my fault my dog always wants to sleep right next to me literally glued onto me?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:No. It is the result of canine social hierarchy and ancient dog/human cooperation. It is reversible, but you should consider the ramifications from the animal’s point of view. You are the supreme master from your dog’s point of view. Invitation to share your bed means you consider the dog your lieutenant. Depending on the dog’s temperament he or she might engage in a battle to take over as leader. More likely the dog might take issue when you invite another into your bed. This isn’t to say you’ll run into any problems but hopefully it will be easier for you to make a decision based on how your dog sees the situation.
