You don't really sound like you like dogs. My dog sleeps in my bed and has since I got her 10 yrs ago. She is in the kitchen when I cook and I finished culinary school, it's my kitchen and I don't have a health inspector so my dog can come in if she wants. My dog has the runof the house and she knows that she is the most important. I would never even consider putting rules on her or getting rid of her. She is the boss and she knows it, she is so old most of the time my husband has to pick her up and carry her up the stairs to our bed.... I also had a cat that recently passed away and she was boss number 2 for 9 yrs. She sat on the kitchen counter while I cooked and watched are also slept on my pillow at night.   As long as animals are kept clean it fine for them to be in a home kitchen or anywhere in the house .

Tread carefully my husband tried to set rules on my dog and I told him if I had to pick I would pick the dog.

I had some problem but with this pregnancy the smell of his dog made me very sick so I put my foot down and told him no more dog on bed it made me so sick. After that I got expensive sheets that even he didn't want dog to ruin. As for cooking in kitchen with dog.. I told him there is not enough room. I mean I can't cook while tripping over dogs plus since I do all the cooking I've claimed the kitchen as my own. Now I have the dogs trained to sit on carpet in hall while I cook. If they r bad I use a baby gate.  Also with the begging of food (husband dog used to bark constantly threw meal if he wasn't getting treats fast enough) I started the rule if laying down while eat and not begging if no table treats when we r done. I will only remind dog 3 times before he losses his treat.  To top things if off I got my husband to go to dog training classes at petco. They are so good there and even he loved the teacher. But when it comes down to it I told him (Constantly) how these bad behaviors would b bad for baby after she's born and sometimes down right dangerous.  You could b standing holding baby when dog pushes you outta way and knocks you off balance etc

I had problems like that when I first met my fiancé. He has a huge standard poodle. And he was only 6 months at the time so he was super hyper. My fiancé used to let the dog on all the furniture and sleep in his bed with him. Granted the dog doesn't shed but I thought it was gross because when I would sleep over there would be pieces of leaves and sand and stuff in the sheets because the dog has curly hair and stuff gets caught in it. Plus the dog weighs 65 lbs so hes the size of a person! He also let him beg at the table and would put his plate on the floor after he finished eating and let the dog lick it clean. When we moved in together I just put my foot down and said I'm not having the dog on the furniture and there's no begging or feeding like that. I put a cover over part of the couch and said that the dog could lay on that section but that's it and never in the bed. He didn't like it but he knew he had to compromise. Now it's 3 yrs later and that's still how it is. You just have to put your foot down. It's your home and your feelings matter too so don't be afraid to really say how you feel about it!

Thanks ladies trust me it's not the hormones at all i'm not even hormonal yet idk why lol,but this dog gets walked at least 3 or 4x a day she eats everything plus her very "special dog food " and treats she doesn't understand the word no she's a tiny dog not big at all but she will literally nudge you out of the way,if your back is turned all of a sudden you'll get a huge push in your legs or your back from her jumping up to push you as god as my witness i'm not lying my dog back at home doesn't do this he's stubborn at times but he does not jump on tables,wallow in the bed thinks he's the boss and he listens never in my life have I ever seen a dog like this I really dislike this dog they've had her for like 4 or 5 years I believe,but once the baby does come idc how long they've had her i'm not having that ish she's off limits to any area where the baby will sleep,eat,drink,play etc.

That dog is misguided, she has not seen authority therefore she thinks she's the one in charge. It's not such a big deal but you should talk to your bf & tell him it's time for a change. Either way things will have to change once the baby is born so it's better to start early than having to deal with her while busy with the baby. What if the baby is on the bed & the dog jumps up and hurts the baby? Or what if she tries attacking the baby since she's used to all the attention.. Especially from your bf.

If you're a dog lover, maybe is the hormones? But talk to your boyfriend anyway and tell him is unsanitary what's happening right now

Ive got a dog an my partner spoiles her she jumps on bed an im 7wks i just said we need to set some rules and said if she jumped on my belly that hard  who nos what will happen or i trip over her while cooking in kitchen it aint safe an he has listened  

[dandi2014]

you two have to agree on the rules.
sit down and talk about what is really important to you and things you are willing to negotiate.
Could the dog be restless? does he/she need more exercise?
it is important the dog has the same rules from all the humans in the household -otherwise it will be confused..
Good luck!
