I don't care, I'm picturing it anyway. The mental image is just too good to be fact-checked.
The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

Hey all.
Really sorry to moan about neighbour and her dogs again but i'm currently pretty damned shocked. The pregnant one I moaned about previously? She's had the puppies and is regularly let out the front of our block to do her business, so to speak. About two hours ago, I'm tending to a couple chores here and Lexie, the dog in question, just barges through the door which i'd kept ajar for some air. Kail has reacted positively thank fuck. Even then, Lexie is in my flat for a good two minutes before the neighbour noticed and im struggling to keep her and Kail apart. Neighbour is yelling for Lexie who's ignoring her and trying to present to Kail. The caretaker then walks into MY flat without my permission to retrieve Lexie who i'm shooing down the hallway.
I'm severely pissed off. Kail is not even slightly territorial which is a good thing in many ways. Had this been my last dog, a rhodesian ridgeback x great dane then it's a different story. That dog was incredibly dog aggressive. Lexie is only 2 and whilst being an XL Bully, is no match for other, more temperamental dogs. The neighbour then had the nerve to shout and rave to the caretaker about me being pissed off.
Seriously, some people shouldn't own dogs.

I genuinely don't understand dog owners like this. I live in Central London and there's someone here who basically allows her dogs to roam. She walks them without leads down main roads, and I've seen them outside her flat eating from bins. It's so selfish. Other dogs aside, I don't get how she doesn't care that her dogs might get run over

My genuine fear is that whilst her dogs are good natured, not every dog is. If they come thundering up to a bad tempered and bigger dog......

100% Cara doesn't react well to dogs off lead in the street, where she obviously is. I think it makes leashed dogs feel threatened because they can't escape.
Is she Lexie in season again?

Larry is incapable of learning that I don't want him on my bed.
It isn't just that he goes on my bed rather that when on it he often does a sort of whirlygig which twists up the duvets and blankets into a right mess.
When I catch him, he looks guilty, knows he has done wrong, and slinks out in disgrace.
But, the next day he just does it again.

Is it Larry that is incapable of learning that you don’t want him on your bed? Or is is you that are incapable of accepting that he’s going to get on your bedLarry is incapable of learning that I don't want him on my bed.

I believe she might be, when she burst into mine she was 'presenting herself' to Kail.

Both.
I love dogs and if he wasn't so hairy and shedding hair all over the place I wouldn't mind him on the bed, but he destroys it!
However he doesn't lick people in the face which is commendable
Yeah, that’s a bit what I thought from the way you described it; I don’t know anything about dog reproductive cycles but if she’s cocking her tail and sticking her back end under his nose it sounds pretty likely. What a bloody nuisance for you:
He does look rather lovely in the photos you’ve posted of him, and obviously does like being around you and feels connected to you. Have you thought about working with him on bonding and simple commands so you can spend time together more comfortably?Both.

I’m saying this while noticing all the muddy footprints on my kitchen floor so don’t have any good answers; but maybe a few ‘try this’ suggestions

I don't know, Larry is a lovely hound but at my BiL's he is allowed on the sofas and goes on the bed so it may be a forlorn hope that I might establish different rules in my place.

Yeah, where else are they supposed to sleep? 
Dub is 1 week post dental surgery now and is much happier, much less agitated and we're all getting more sleep.

Frankie's really sweet on the bed of a morning, it's a lovely way to wake up. He's very affectionate and does that thing where he crawls up the side of the bed on his stomach towards me for a bit of a fluffing then he lies on his back for a chest and tummy rub.

I’d end up with a fully grown lab lying on my face. Farting. Or noisily licking her bits at 3am...

Frankie was never allowed upstairs before he came here because they had a white bedspread.
You have a dog and a white bedspread?
Willow isn't allowed upstairs because of the cats. When we got a dog we decided on many rules and boundaries. It's probably the only one that has remained.

Albert never really comes on the bed. He used to a bit more but never settled. He loves his memory foam bed and a bit of space.
Sometimes if he needs a poo he’ll jump on and whine a bit to let us know. He’s a lone wolf in his old age.
Lucy slept on the bed every night when she was poorly, she loved it so much. She’d sleep as close as possible to us and then dribble on our pillow. Gross but we loved it too.
Humphrey always gets up for a bit of a fuss before bed. We have a play, cuddle up, tell him how beautiful he is and do grass seed paw checks.
He’ll snuggle down for a bit then growl and get off when someone dares to move a foot or ask for some cover.

weltweit are you doing anything to prevent him from getting on your bed, other that telling him no. Like, is the door closed securely in a way he can't easily open? In terms of resetting his behaviour it's going to be easier to reward him for walking away from a closed door as a first step. I would say that if you don't teach him in stages then you will be setting him up to fail.
