My gf does this too. She does not enforce rules like getting on furniture, or taking stuff away from our other dog and when she is its very inconsistant. So far, other than the dog we currently are fostering, every dog has listened to me and completely ignored her. They go to her when I say no about something then she usually picks them up and puts them on her lap or plays with them. Its very frustrating
