He sleeps in our bedroom closet which is very big, open and airy. What can I use as a home remedy (besides red pepper!) Maybe some kind of scent, so it wouldnt feel so inviting. I have a brand new hand-made comforter that I dont want to see covered with dog hair. Yes, I could cover it, but I shouldnt have to. Sorry....But I expect the same respect from my dogs as I do my children.

You have a few options. One is to keep your dog out of your room completely. You can put up a baby gate to keep him out and have a dog bed on the other side of the gate so that he still feels near you, but can't get on the bed. Since he's supposed to sleep in the closet, you can also keep him in by putting up a baby gate and taking it down when he is allowed out, so it kind of works like a crate. Another option is to get him a crate. You can put the crate next to your bed, so that he knows he's close to you. The last option I can think of is to teach him that he can't get on the bed, but he is allowed to sleep on the floor next to the bed. Try training him during the day; put a leash on him and when he jumps up, firmly say no. Say "off" and have him jump off the bed. Praise and reward when he stays on the floor. Repeat until you can take off the leash and just give the "off" command. I hope some of these options help you.

First and most important point a dog is a dog not a child
2. it should not be sleeping in your room unless it is invited.
3 loose the attitude you expect the same respect from your dog as your children you are having a laugh .
4 get off your high horse.
5 get a crate they are great i have 2 wonderful dogs yes they are dogs and are treated as such,i say bed they go in their crates and if you are wondering no they do not get locked in there unless they have misbehaved.
6 oh you probably use a crate for your children they should only be used for dogs the four legged kid
7 you could try sleeping in on yourself to test it out for your dog .

Get a creat for him. There are wire ones. Teach him to sleep in it. Dogs like it because there safe in it. It might take some time to teach him but its worth the time. I have do dogs that Like me also. They know sleep in there bed when I tell them I going to bed.

Everytime it jumps up take the leash and pull it off -- saying OFF. Takes patience but it works. Get a comfy dog beg and place it where he can see you - and this will be his new sleeping area. Close your closet door.

well i dont blame you for not wanting your dog on the comforter... all i ca say is..a reinforcement of NO and when he or she tries to get ont he bed say it over an over and take him off the bed... i dont know of anything else to do..when my girls..aka dogs get on my bed or do something theeir not suppose to..they sit in time out corner.. and they actually do sit with their nose in the crack...lol.. but i trained them to do this since they was smal.. try going toan online site for dog obedience and see what it says...
the pepper wiill not only possibly burn the dog but also you may get it in your eyes uniuntentionally..
when your dog does mind and stays off your bed..be sure to reward him or her.. hugss an good luck.. let me know please what ya did to solve this problem.. oo and btw..when your gone id shut the bedroom door so the doggy cnat get in until your there..im sure theres other places for the dog to sleep hugssss

i suggest just getting a dog kennel. most dogs, after they get used to it, love going in the kennel! it also helps if there is a towel or blanket in it. for the first few nights the dog will probably bark and make noise, but after awhile he'll (or she'll) get used to it. when we got one of our puppies we automatically put him in a kennel his first night.

Everytime he jumps on the bed, you have to make him jump back off and say Off!
ONe thing you can do is get a penny can and shake it to startle him when he jumps up.
