My two dogs and 2 cats sleep in my bed. It is so crowded, me or my hubby end up sleeping on the couch. It is affecting our marriage, but when I lock them out, they cry at the door all night. how can I change this behavior?

LOL...I'm sorry, but it sounds funny...you end up on the couch. I sleep with my kitty and hubby all night too. My kitty would cry at the door if she was locked out, I feel your pain. When my kitty was spayed she had to stay in a cage for 5 nights so her stiches wouldn't rip out. (They did once, so she had to be stiched up again and we had to be extra careful) ANyway, I slept on the floor with kitty for five nights with my fingers in the cage soothing her. Hubby COULD NOT believe I did that. I felt sorry for kitty though.
Oh sorry I have no advice for you..good luck!
Oh maybe you could get a KING size bed...or do you have one?

Must the bedroom door be shut? If not, leave the door open, they are probably feeling excluded if the door is shut. This would cause them to fuss. I have 2 wolf hybrids, & 2 cats, & a husband. They start out on the bed with us, as we get comfy, they are usually moved about. They eventually just give up trying to sleep with us, & move to a quieter area, I.E. the floor. The one wolf is 140lbs.Big girl,the cats are a siamese & Bombay, both bossy, both needy. But even tho' they will only settle in for half an hour at the most with all of us in bed.But if the door was shut I can see all the "kids"fussing, as they would feel left out.

2 dogs 2 Cats To many bed partners!
Lock them in a crate together if they like each other, close your door get earplugs and wait. They will stop their wanting to come in. Do not let them on your bed even to play. They need to learn that your bed is off limits. My dogs & cat would sleep in our bed too, but my other half cannot rest with them there. Cats are nocturnal so they do not lay still. It's a bummer if you get no rest or anything else because pets are in the bed.

Get the cats a kitty bed to sleep on and train the dogs to sleep on the couch. You can put a sheet or old blanket on the couch

Actually if dogs get on something they think that it makes them more powerful. Get a dog bed for it and for cats it doesn't matter.

Do you have an old mattress?Perhaps someone in your family has a spare?Maybe you have a sleepover bag or a huge pillow.Get them to sleep there or kick them off your bed and give them a treat of they listen.
Good luck!

try some spray (house training thingy). the spray taste bitter. spray it around the edge of your bed. ur dog/cats will tend to lick it. And after a few days/week they wont dare to go near it. lol. kinda funny but it works.
