Hi
River has been with us for 5 months now. She came very well trained to us, knowing her sit, stay, down etc etc. and she's obviously been told to stay off of the furniture. My Timber was also trained as a puppy not to go on the furniture, especially the bed. Now, because my DH works out of town a lot, I changed mind about the no bed rule. I tried for years and was unsuccessful to get Timber to ever sleep on my bed. She'd jump up but was obviously uncomfortable and she never stayed long. I've been trying the same thing with River and I could sense the same reluctance in her to stay there for long.
Last night however was different. I asked her come up and immediately starting massaging her. When I was done and turned off the lights I figured she'd jump down soon but she stayed all on her own, all night!
Now, I do have my husband's pillow case to wash and replace this morning before he gets home, and River needs to learn a little about sharing the bed but otherwise it was a success! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
