Stop Treating Dogs Like Human Kids | Sheffield News

Thirty-year dog training veteran Enrique Molina warns pet owners to stop treating dogs like human children—sleeping in bed, eating at the table, or going everywhere with you only breeds insecurity. Drawing from his experience training police and rescue dogs, Molina argues that “humanizing” pets leads to anxiety and destructive behavior. He urges establishing clear boundaries and a dog’s own space from day one, especially during the adjustment period, to build confidence and prevent issues. While bed-sharing is common in the UK, Molina suggests a compromise: placing the dog’s bed beside yours for companionship without invading personal space. Consistent routines and leadership are key to fostering healthy, independent canine behavior. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
