Trying to keep a dog off the sofa often turns into a battle of wills between human logic and canine determination - and evolution gave dogs the better negotiation skills. Dogs are social animals wired to seek closeness with their pack, and in a home, you are the pack. Elevated resting spots like sofas also feel safer and more comfortable because they’re soft, warm, and smell strongly like their favorite human. Once a dog associates the couch with comfort and bonding, that preference becomes self-reinforcing. Consistency and training can teach boundaries, but if rules change even slightly - say, one cozy movie night exception - the dog’s brain logs it as permanent permission.
From their perspective, they’re not breaking rules - they’re returning to the approved cuddle platform. To a dog, the sofa isn’t furniture. It’s a communal nest, and you’re just borrowing space.

Chihuahuas may weigh less than a loaf of bread, but their confidence levels are calibrated somewhere between “lion” and “legendary warrior”. This isn’t delusion - it’s temperament plus survival instinct.
Small breeds often develop bold, assertive behavior because, historically, being timid would make a tiny animal more vulnerable. Chihuahuas in particular are known for strong loyalty and alertness, traits that can look like exaggerated bravery when directed at vacuum cleaners or mail carriers. Without consistent training, their protective instincts can become extra theatrical, since humans tend to excuse behaviors in small dogs that they’d correct in large ones. The result is a dog that genuinely believes it’s the size of its personality.
In their mind, they're not a tiny creature yelling at a Great Dane - it’s a mighty guardian confronting a suspicious beast. Confidence, after all, is measured in attitude, not pounds.

When a dog proudly parades around with a stick twice their length, they’re not showing off carpentry skills - they’re channeling ancient instincts.
Carrying objects is linked to natural retrieving and prey-carrying behaviors inherited from their wild ancestors. Wolves transport food, bones, and materials, so modern dogs still feel rewarded when they pick something up and haul it around. Sticks are especially appealing because they’re abundant, textured, and smell like the great outdoors. Large sticks add an extra challenge, which can make the activity mentally stimulating and physically satisfying. Dogs also enjoy the attention they get when carrying a comically oversized branch - positive reactions reinforce the habit.
To dogs, it’s part exercise, part puzzle, part trophy parade. What looks like a dog struggling with yard debris is actually a proud delivery mission: “Behold, human. I have brought you… tree.”
