I have a 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. I call him my 98.6% good boy. He has great temperament, doesn’t pull on walks and is just overall a really good and well behaved dog so far by nature. (I didn’t know they made them at the factory like this lol)
But as a sit and watch him in the yard right now, he’s doing what GPs love to do. They kinda dig their own spots and just kinda like to gaurd the yard and he’s content. I personally have been trying to get him to lay on a raised dog bed because I feel like fleas or allergens are getting to him but he ain’t about the raised dog bed life.
I dunno just rambling 🤷 it might be something we continue to work on or I might let him have a pass since he seems to enjoy it. But I should mention that he does sleep with me and likes to burrow under the covers, which is another thing I’m trying to dissuade but sometimes when I’m in deep sleep he wiggles his way in and get away with it.
Do any of you give your dogs similar “passes”?
Yeah my one true wish is if I could make my dog recall on command even if he sees a bunny he wants to chase. Do you have that control?
Sounds like you’re giving him his best life either way!
Mines a lapdog and he has no desire to chase anything. He doesn’t pay attention/has no interest, he just wants to sniff brick walls. He’s really good at stoping to cross the street and keeping close to me when we do. He’s really great at “leave it” indoors and outdoors.
