Going through the puppy stages with Kain and he loves to cuddle and be held like a baby. All this is ok but I can't help but think this will be a mistake later. Does the attitude change later and he will sleep on his bed or should I be enforcing that now?
I feel I should be enforcing it but he WILL NOT go to sleep without being held unless we kennel him downstairs. This is fine but when he gets puppy biting we also have to kinda timeout and let him get rest so kennel him as well.
My concern is I don't want him to reject the kennel.
Lastly, are they dominate to be alpha dog? I have concerns of doing that right and not wanting to make mistakes lifting them up on the furniture, we won't allow him to put his feet up on his own (definite work in progress). Watching ceaser Millan and brad on end of my leash makes me think treat them as a pet and be in charge period.
I can't break his puppy mentality to sleep in his bed, he walks around dead tired from person to person.
