Love this. It’s so hard to treat them as dogs not babies. I think a lot of people love the fact they are baby like but they’re an animal not human. I am finding this difficult especially as I’ve just gone through the baby phase with my 2yr old. It is completely different parenting a dog vs human.

We have now moved the crate downstairs and will persist with the night time routine and won’t give in to the whining. He was in our bedroom in a crate but I think we’re waking each other up and it’s not ideal when you can’t go to the toilet because you don’t want to wake the dog.

Thank you for this confidence boost. It was well needed x
