Here’s how to deal with some of the most common complaints.
Pets are adorable, and are easier to dote upon than their more emotionally complex owners.
But feeling like you’re lower on the totem pole than your animal stings.
It’s important to talk to your partner about the role that your pet plays in your household.
Lots of couples spend all of their time together also being shadowed by their pet.
Sexual spontaneity with a pet in the house in hard!
check that you have regular date nights away from your pet.
Pets that sleep in your bed can make it physically and mentally difficult to initiate sex.
I’ve even heard stories of animals going on the attack when their owners are mid-coitus.
I know it sounds harsh, but a no-furniture rule can be a life-saver.
you could work with a trainer orfollow instructions on YouTube training videos.
Nothing sets the mood quite like hearing you go apeshit just a few feet away.
This happens most often with dogs, so trycrate trainingyour pooch to help it be more comfortable alone.
Crank up some music if it helps!
I have a pug, so I know that pets can give some serious meaning-laden side-eye.
It may retaliate by eating or destroying their clothes, growling, hissing, or even scratching or biting.
verify you take these factors into consideration before making the long-term commitment to pet ownership!
