You can clearly see how your life will be know that you have a wonderful dog. Your anxious to take him to the park with you so you can run and play together through the green meadows. There will be no need for a leash because your dog will stay right by your side and you will take him where ever you go.

Your well mannered dog refuses to go to the bathroom outside and thinks your couch is the best place to sleep. You find yourself wondering “How to keep dog off furniture“?!He snubs his nose at his food and instead forges the counter to find a meal fit for a king. Your new carpet has become is favorite digging hole.
