how do you stop your dog from sleeping in bed with you?

Answer 1

do not allow him or her into your bedroom its unhygienic!

ewwww!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

i agree with the crate training - all my dogs were crate trained first. as for sleeping on my bed they will ask me first - they put their paws on my bed and look at me (when i'm sitting at the comp) if i say no they will just sit down, if i say ok they will jump on. Be firm and most of all consistency - don't confuse the dog by letting him on the bed one day and not on the next day - if you don't want the dog on the bed then every minute of everyday you can not let the dog on the bed until he understands.

Answer 3

Close the door.

Make sure your dog knows where his or her bed is, and that he's expected to sleep there. Alternatively, crate training, where a closed crate is used as a bed or den, will prevent your dog from using areas of the house that you'd prefer him not to. Eventually, crate-training can be evolved into sit-and-stay.

Though whining and crying can be heartbreaking, it;s important to be consistent, as if he learns that all he needs to do is make a fuss to be allowed back into your bed, he'll continue in this manner.

Answer 4

If he/she start to get on the bed tell them NO and take them off the bed and say STAY when you put them on the floor. This has worked for my doxies who can jump over the moon if he had enough energy! LOL Also you may want to try crate training him/her, I crate all 3 of my dogs and they dont have a problem with it at all.

Answer 5

If your dog is used to being allowed in bed then you just have to change the rules and stick by them. First start off by "claiming your space" sit on the bed and when he jumps up, tell him down or "off" then if does not obey, use your body language to say it like you mean it. Block him into jumping off the bed. Keep doing this until he learns not to get on the bed unless you invite him there. Don't pull him off the bed, don't touch him just try to keep getting him to scoot back until he is off the bed. If you touch him, or pull him down he will think you may be playing and make a game of it. Or he may get insecure thinking he is being punished. But by making him get off on his own then it was his idea, and he is respecting you by giving you your space. (I watch a lot of Dog Whisperer)

Answer 6

You have to be very strong willed and deal with lots of crying and whining. I like the crate idea, or get them a comfy bed in a different room, perhaps, or in your room if they'll stay in it and not climb into bed with you.

We couldn't handle it and I now have to share my bed with two dachshunds that sleep UNDER the covers.

Answer 7

I have a little yorkie and he used to always sleep in my bed. Then I bought this little pet stroller and parked it right next to my bed and he prefers to sleep in that. I think dogs want to be close to us but would rather have there own little space.

Answer 8

if it was sleeping with you before , you will have to show it the rules have changed, I go with the crate method, a couple days it will know that the crate is it's own den. I train mine to " go to bed" with a treat and love, into their crates. now they go in all by them selves at their own leisure. although mine still are allowed to sleep in bed with me, the crate is still avaiable to them at their leisure, and for when company comes over, or repair person, or when I go to work( they are still quite young) it is for their safety first & 2nd to make sure they arn't chewing things, they are house broke( potty)but pups & young dogs( not 2 yrs old yet can get into alot of mischief.

Answer 9

try buying a bed for him and tell him to stay there or you can put the dog bed next to your bed so he knows that you are beside him

Answer 10

you can try getting a dog bed for it. Mine will sometimes sleep in his bed and not ours. Our female will sleep in her crate.

Answer 11

Say the word "off" and push him off the bed. Praise him when he lands on the floor. He should get the idea before long.
