It's your dog a Velcro dog? You can actually be doing more harm than good by allowing your dog to be a stage 5 clinger.
Brittney talks about the importance of setting boundaries and training dogs to respect their owner's personal space. The host emphasizes that treating dogs exactly like humans can lead to behavioral problems. Dogs should be trained to be more independent and not overly reliant or intrusive on their owners. The host also provides practical tips on how to establish these boundaries including giving commands to discourage dogs from following them everywhere, kicking dogs out of the kitchen and stopping them from sleeping on the bed. Brittney stresses the idea of giving dogs rules to help them become better, while stressing the role of owners in implementing these rules.
