Post by: Alistair on May 31, 2013, 12:46:31 pm
1 The dog is not allowed in the house.
2 Ok, the dog is allowed in the house but only in certain rooms.
3 The dog is allowed in all rooms but has to stay off the furniture.
4 The dog can get on the old furniture only.
5 Fine, the dog is allowed on all furniture but is not allowed to sleep with humans on the bed.
6 Ok, the dog is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.
7 The dog can sleep on the bed whenever he likes but not under the covers.
8 The dog can sleep under the covers by invitation only.
9 The dog can sleep under the covers anytime.
10 Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers with the dog.

Not allowed upstairs at all .......and into the sitting room by invitation only  (opening the door counts as invitation).


Not allowed into the study at the moment because of puppy wees ....... but she is getting the hang of it. She understands the word "OUT!!!!" They can go wherever there is hard floor surface.

Mine stay in thier room and the yard all day, I hardly go out without them so leave my back door open and they know not to come in, although they would run in if someone came in, also, my Yellow lab chances it sometimes and does nip in to sit with me...its only due to being a B&B and thier room is warmer than the house in the day...they however do not usualy allow me in there without invitiation :innocent:

We have one spoiled terrier who comes in, and I have a 4 year old girl who coddles him, so Iwouldn't be surprised if he ended up on her bed at some stage.


All other dogs are outside only.

Our dog and cat arn't allowed upstairs ever, I wouldn't be able to stand getting into bed and smelling cat or dog hair!! No way!  :D

The dog isn't allowed on the furniture either although i'm pretty sure once i have gone to bed my OH lets her up on the couch  ::)
