Setting Training Limits for Your Dog

1. The dog is not allowed in the house
2. OK, he can come in, but only in the kitchen
3. Well, he can be in the living room, but he has to stay off the furniture
4. The dog can only get on the old couch, not the new chair
5. Fine, OK. The dog can sleep on the living room furniture, but not on the beds.
   
6. The dog can be on the bed, but only when I say so.
7. The dog can sleep on the bed any time, but not under the covers
8. The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only
9. Fine then. The dog can sleep under the covers every night
10. If it's OK with the dog, the humans can sleep under the covers too.

I thought this was cute, but it really doesn't address a couple of problems: Such as the dog being a bed-hog. Sometimes I can't understand how such a small critter can spread out over an entire bed.
