My daughter is 9 months old and has sleep with my husband and I in our bed since she was a month old. How do I get her to sleep in her own bed, in her own room? And I don't like to cry it out method. Also, she has to have her pacifier to sleep, so she wakes up every time she drops it, so I have to go into her room and give it back to her every couple of hours. Any advice?

The cry it out method is the only way. It's you that needs to be "trained" not her.
First put her to bed and sit in a chair by the door but so she can see you. No talking or noise. If she drops her pacifier you can put it back but no talking, touching, etc. No stimulation! When she sleeps leave. You should be able to start leaving sooner as time goes on. Shouldn't take more than two weeks, if it does you are stimulating her in some way.
later in the night when she wakes up you can put the pacifier back in but no other stimulation. That will have to be the next thing to work but for now just work in the sleeping thing.

We had an extra single size bed and for the first few months I slept on that bed in my daughters room until she got used to it and that way I didn't have to go as far to get her.

they only way to get her to sleep alone is to let her cry if she crys more then 10 mins go in there calm her down and tell her it is time to go to bed and she needs to sleep in her own bed she will have a fit and cry again but then most of her energy having a fit and she will get the point it is not okay to sleep with you.
