My white German Shepherd tries to herd us all into bed at night. She snaps she growls she barks. She has very strong opinions about what the pack should be doing when the sun goes down. She’s very sweet but she’s also very pushy.
She snaps she growls
She has very strong opinions about what the pack should be doing
that’s neither acceptable nor cute. dog is not the one who should be making decisions about what the pack is doing. you should do something about it before it ends bad for the dog and/or someone else.
Just FYI, the Alpha Pack Theory has been thoroughly discredited. I hope the other poster is addressing problematic behavior (if it exists) with their vet and other experts, but we have no idea. The “pack”, however, has nothing to do with it…

that is completely irrelevant to the point i am making. the dog should still not set the rules of the household and enforce them with their teeth, because if you let such behaviour continue, it will sooner or later get someone hurt and the dog euthanized.
I have a pit mix but he definitely gets upset when the humans are not in their proper places at bed time. His house, his rules. Too bad we don’t follow his rules so he just marches around us all night.
My cats behave similarly - if i am not lying down so they can cuddle with me in the evening, one of them starts giving me little love bites all over my arm and the other one becomes annoying as fuck by throwing small things off tables and stuff like that

You people draw the longest conclusions from the scantest evidence.
I think it’s time for you to divorce the dog, hit a lawyer, delete the gym, etc
Damn it. I hit social media, deleted the lawyer, and took the dog to the gym!
🤣 can’t be a better representation of how the reddit hivemind worked in the before times.
the commenter i replied to wrote it pretty clearly there, white on dark grey. i am not making any conclusions, i am simply reading what they wrote.

Humans often don’t get as much sleep as they probably should.

That dog might just know best.

So funny
You should tell your dog that donuts and other unhealthy snacks are only allowed on weekends. Instant diet hack!
She does this thing she calls the “jump back jack”
