Is it wrong to spoil my dog/puppy?
im i the only one who likes to spoil my puppy?
ppl say im strange for that am i?
It's not wrong, but you're going to end up with a brat unless you coach the dog some basic commands and basic behaviors. For instance, the dog desires to know where he's sleeping (not in your bed), where he's intake, and where he can't eat (begging from the table).
Your dog will love you just as much next to or without treats. Your dog's top enjoyment comes when you walk him or her and play frisbee. Your compliment is better than treats in his opinion.
So, spend lots of time loving your dog. But don't forget to train him well, too, unless you want a brat dog. Spay or spay him.
Best wishes,

It depends on how much and in what course your spoil your puppy. If you treat your puppy like a doll or a child, you're only harming your puppy. If you spoil your puppy by getting him the best standard food, lots of walks, grooming him properly, training him correctly with lots of praise, spending lots of time playing next to him - that's the right kind of spoiling.
Depends on how spoiled we are talking approximately. Some forms of spoiling, could be bad for the dog.
Well I trained my dog to use puppy pads and wanted to really re-enforce the behavior. Well he's accident free but, in a minute every time he goes I have to give him a treat or he'll appeal until I do.
But, I do have a dog that is potty trained and he does do tricks to get a treat. So, spoiling can be moral but, also can be bad.
I recommend when training not to always give them a treat every single time. I didn't furnish him a treat for every trick but, I forgot to phase out treats for his potty training. opps
Yes it is wrong, because one day you will not get it the entry it wants and you will have barking, whining and biting.
Yes, it's kinda wrong. i mean, it's okay, as long as you give it boundaries.
Dogs have get to have boundaries in order to outlive, or they'll make themselves the "alpha dogs" of the pack (ur house), and they won't listen to you, won't do anything you say, and basically, they'll be certain they are the one's owning YOU
now, you don't want that, do you?
Answers: you're not weird for loving your dog,but they need discipline too or they will be unmanageable.
Too much yes .
It's okay to spoil your dog a short time ago a little bit but too much can change your dog to a spoiled brat.
What consequences are you willing to pay for spoiling? You will pay a price. An animal wants boundries and expects them. They feel more secure with them. The dog immensely well might not see you as the alpha dog -the person in charge, but the one who meet his/her demands. If you can live with that, go ahead. IT is your dog. I spoil mine too. But he does know when enough is adequate. He knows I am in charge. I decide the amount of "spoil". :)
