You should also restrict dogs from sleeping upstairs in your house because they can disturb our sleep.
Many of us let our dogs sleep with us and there are some benefits to this such as a heightened sense of security.
However there are some downsides as well.
Humans and dogs have different sleep cycles.
At night we sleep more deeply and longer than dogs do and because dogs tend to move around more at night this can disrupt our sleep.
More than 20% of dogs snore! Imagine the impact on your sleep!
