Forbidden fruit

We have had a few battles lately. It's always the same thing. The obsession right now is the dog's water bowl or her bed.

He's always loved playing with water but for a year and a half he's never bothered about the dog's bowls and I thought to myself that we were lucky to have escaped that battle. Little did I know it was yet to come. Everything needs dipped and bathed in the water 💦. Time out after warning after time out and still no effect. Not even sitting in the same room and repeating the word no a million times will have any effect.

For some reason a new obsession about the dog's bed has emerged. I don't mind them cuddling up together and sharing space but the fact that he pushes her away so he can sit on her bed is just point blank bullying. I've tried to from day one differentiate what's the dog's things and what is Lance's, which has worked great until now.

Patience patience patience and consistency. Alot easier said than done but what other options do I have?
