This is actually a serious issue with dog training- or general animal training. People forget that puppies grow up. If you let them do it as a puppy they will likely gravitate to that as an adult. That can cause issues with large dogs especially. If you don’t mind a full grown dog trying to sit in your lap or fit on the bed, that’s fine- however common problems are letting puppies jump on people, which may be cute when they are 10lbs but not when they grow to 100 and knock down someone... also behavioral issues. It’s hard to be strict with an adorable puppy- especially when we think it looks sad when we say nonor dicipline it. Because it’s small and cute it’s destructive behaviors and relatively tiny messes might be funny. It’s cute little barks might make us smile. It’s not so cute though when the dog, the messes, the noises- get big. Give your dog and you the best chance to have a long and happy life of enjoyment together by thinking ahead when they are young. Not shaming anyone.

And to be clear I never trained any of my big dogs not to lap sit because I don’t mind it. But it is a common example of a behavior many end up disliking or even regaining animals because of.
