🐶🐾 Should dogs be allowed on the furniture? It’s a debate that divides pet lovers everywhere, but Will Atherton, a seasoned canine behaviourist, might just have an answer! Based in Derbyshire, Will has worked with countless pups and their quirks.
He says it’s all about personal choice. If your furry friend behaves well, why not let them join you on the sofa? But remember, establish clear boundaries. Will suggests that dogs should wait for your cue before hopping up and should get down just as politely when you ask.
During a TikTok video, Will demonstrated his point with Sully, his large, well-mannered dog. Sully patiently waited for the “up” command before joining Will for a snuggle and obediently returned to the floor when instructed. 🐕
Not everyone is on board, though! Some viewers argued, “My dogs are family and can go wherever they please” while others praised Will’s balanced approach, saying it’s great to see a trainer who doesn’t limit a dog’s world.
