'Humanising' Your Canine Friend Is Causing Behavioral Problems (And How to Stop)

You love your canine friends. You treat them like a member of the family, maybe even like your own child. You let them sleep on your bed, you share your own food, you dress them with cute things, and you think that their excited jumps are kisses and hugs.


And yet, your canine friend is stressed, anxious, barks at everything, and won't listen to you. Why?

The harsh reality is that what you see as "love" is perceived as disrespect from your canine friend's perspective.


When you treat your canine friend like a human, you create a deep, fundamental confusion. From their perspective:

  • Letting them on elevated grounds (your sofa, your bed) forces them to take on the responsibility of a manager.

  • Feeding them from the table makes them believe they are responsible for the food resource, leading to dominant behaviors.

  • Dressing them in clothes restricts their natural ability to communicate with body language and can be a source of constant, low-level stress.

  • Interpreting jumping as affection teaches them that dominating you is an acceptable way to communicate.
