Many dog and puppy trainers will preach the benefits of teaching your dog where his or her own dog cushion is in your home. By ensuring that your pooch has their own little space that they can go to in order to feel comfortable, you make sure that the dog is comfortable, relaxed and at ease in your home. This can also prevent unexpected sneaky excursions into your bed in the middle of the night, and, with proper training, can even help to stop your dog from sitting on your furniture.
A dog cushion provides more than just a comfortable place for your dog to enjoy – it also provides them with a place of obedience. This means that your dog will learn to associate certain actions or rules with their comfy cushion – such as ‘stay’ or ‘lie down’ when you have guests. This can be achieved with the proper training. Cushions, leads, collars and other accessories can be great aids for training your pup to have good dog behaviour.
There are many different styles of cushions to choose from. Many pet owners choose their dog cushion to suit their home décor, but you can also choose fun patterns to suit your dog’s personality if you would prefer. Choose something soft and comfortable that your dog will look forward to lying down on, and see how much happier it will make them. Whether you choose a dog bed or a dog cushion, it is essential that you provide your dog or puppy with their own space where they can enjoy their lazy days and relax in style.
