Husband and I having trouble having "alone time"..............

[Chels*Claud*Midas]

Hello all! I have a personal question/problem... So my goldendoodle Midas is almost 2 years old, April 15th, we got him at 7 weeks old, I know that's young but we drove to the breeder in Maryland and couldn't drive back the next week..anyways.. lately my husband and I have been having trouble getting "alone time".. we used to be able to just go in our room, close the door and not hear a peep except a huff and a puff and as we call it "plop" when he plops on the floor outside the door lol.. so as of late when we sneak into our room he has been starting up with his high pitched puppy annoying bark.. not his "big boy someones at the door bark".. he almost yelps and cries and hits his nose against the door knob... we try and ignore it for a bit but its constant.. then we say "be quite!!" and he gets louder!!! we put on "dogTv" for him which is a channel for dogs, that doesn't help, I can leave him with a bone or treat, he doesn't care and wont eat it until we come out.. we have resorted to having to come back out and put the shock collar on him.. not using it, but just putting it on.. and lately that has been working..we hear him "plop" whimper a bit then he quiets down.. but I feel so bad doing that.. we don't shock him, but he knows it could happen when the collar is on...so he behaves.. it has gotten to the point that hubby and I don't even bother to have alone time that often because we know the hassle it has become.. I know that's not fair to us, we are a young married couple and we spend so much time with Midas that we deserve a little alone time. does anyone else have this problem? I know a co worker of mine does, she even has to put all tvs on PLUS the shower, and her dog thinks they are going to bathe her and so she stays quiet.. any others with this issue? any tips advice? anything? thanks in advance..

Even if your dog is one that is allowed on the bed, just tell him to stay off or put him in a down-stay on the floor when you're "involved."  Sometimes, it's just easier to have them in the same room.  They are really uninterested in what's going on.

Lol I can't imagine him in the room! I can be the will fly up on the bed to see what's going on! Lol he is allowed on my bed and he cannot stand to see my husband and I even hug! He jumps in the middle to seperate us! Lol I'm hoping once the summer comes I can take him on a nice long walk then he will be all hot and tired and he we lay down.. Let's just hope I'm not too hot and tired after the walk too! Lol

If you want him out of the room, I would use the collar as a barking deterrent. Sometimes they just can't have what they want. Once he gets used to your rule, he will accept it.

Reminds me of when my son was very young and slept in our bed.  We used to sneak down the hall to the guest room!
