Spoiling our Dogs and Puppies

It's just such a pity. I hate the idea of him being upstairs all by himself - our home is 300 years old and very draughty - but if that's what he needs to do, then that's what he needs to do. (We've tried the reward/praise idea but again, no go.)

Anyway, thanks again for the advice.
