Do you let your dog sleep in your bed?

In my house the dogs stay outside. The only reason theyre outside is because they tend to drop a lot of hair.They drop noticeable white hair. If i were to let my dogs in they would drop hair all over my bed and furniture. Thats the only reason i dont let my dogs in.

I don't let my dogs enter the house. They just stay outside because I have asthma and we avoid letting them in. We feed, train and groom them, and play with them outside our house.

My pets can pretty well sleep where they want. Lucy, my dog used to always sleep on my bed but now she stays there less than a minute unless I am stroking or patting her. She usually sleeps on one of the single lounge chairs or the 3 seater lounge. She even uses the cushions for her head....so funny.

[b]hi trickiwoo! i like it when my dog sleeps on my bed and i love it when he tries to wake me up early in the morning to bring him down for him to be taken by our nanny for a walk and do what he's got to do. i miss him so much that now he isn't here with me because my mom had leukemia and she is not allowed having pets around the house. happy posting and happy mylotting![/b]

I actually would, but my dog would not have it, he jumps off the bed and prefers to sleep on the floor. Either that or he goes right to the middle of the bed so there is no way I can lay down next to him. He's not allowed on the couch, though when he sees a squirrel he jumps on it, trying to see out the window.

yes, we do let our dogs sleep on our bed. some years ago, our dog liked snuggling next to me. i usually sleep on my side, and she would lay down beside me and use my arm as her pillow. =) she doesn't do that anymore though, because she's old now. she doesn't seem to want to snuggle as much and can't jump up on the bed anymore. =(

I let my dog (when he is bath and smell good) on my bed,I also let my four cats sleep with me. I like having them with me, I believe it make them feel that we love them. I also have 2 cts that stay outside, but I make sure that they fed and at night i have blankets in a box so that won't e cold.

i don't have a dog but i have three cats. they are allowed anywhere in at home. my girl, the one in my avatar, sleeps on my bed with me. my longhair boy sleeps with my parents and my russian blue cross sleeps with my parents. various furniture at home are their nap spots and they even have their own cat tree. my cats also sleeps on the sofa some days and my dining table on other days. they are the queen and kings of my home.

Yes my dog sleeps on our bed when we are not in it. We put a cover sheet over it so he does not make the bed smelly. He is too big for any of the chairs. I never let him in the bed with us as there is no room and he mucks the sheets up. At night he gets to sleep on his own bed and the bedroom door is shut. I have no problem with dogs on furniture at all.

We don't have a dog right now, only cats. We hope to have a puppy next year. But when we "babysit" my parents dog he gets to sleep in the bed and get on the couch and chairs just like our cats can. Many people are really bothered by this, but I just never have been. I am a 'comfort' person. I don't have furniture that doesn't get used, etc. My animals are my family, and we all play and sleep together (well, my son in his room with animals and me in mine, or all of us on couch or chairs, etc). Good for you and your adopted dog!! How lucky she is. All three of our cats are rescued and hopefully our puppy(s) will be too!!!

No dogs in bed, cats are enough, it's crowded as it is. Enjoy your new dog and remember you now have perfect love in your home.

If it were up to me, I would allow Lucky to lay with me wherever I am at, although I live with my parents and the dogs are not allowed on the couch, but they do sleep with us in our beds.

Yep, I sleep with my dog Otis. My husband does't like it but he is clean and he doesn't shed and he doesn't smell. So what is the big deal?

In my parents' home,the dog always sleep at the foot of the bed with my parents.He's totally spoiled.Especially in winter.Cause' he's bed is in the living room and there's so cold in the deep night when we all go to the bedroom.Now,he thinks it's quite natural that our parents' bed is his bed.If I wake him up at the winter morning and try to force him get off the bed,he'll bark at me,then back to sleep:( and if we eat at the dinning room,he will eat his dinner beside us at a big chair,or he won't eat anything.When we're watching tv,he will sit beside us closely and fall asleep. I have a dog in my house now.And I also don't care if she wanna sleep on my bed.But she can't sit on the couch...lol...cuz I have no couch in my house:)

I love dogs but I do not like to have them in my bed. We have three dogs in the house and they all sleep in their own beds. Yes, they can "watchTV" with us and sit in the coach but the bedroom is off limits to them. I do not think that it is healthy to let dogs sleep in your bed. Animal hair can cause respiratory problems as you grow older.

When I have my pet before my daughter has came for us I did not let my dog or cat sleep in my furniture and for that way I always make it sure that I bought a basket bag for them when they are still small and then bought a foam when they will became big enough to sleep in the stock room.....

My dog lives outside which saddens me because I would love for her to be inside with us, but she is very energetic and can cause damage and she sheds a lot of hair. My cat sleeps on my bed, though.

Ilove my dog, but he sleep in his own bed, he can sit in the lounge in his spot where a cushion is placed for this purpose, and he is happy with this.

As an owner of both dogs and cats, it is easy to see the dfference between them, especially at bedtime. Dogs are naturally pack animals, and they sleep in groups with their 'pack' or family. Cats are more aloof, and may or may not sleep with their 'family', but they like the choice. Our dogs (both chihuahuas) sleep with us, and sit on the couch with us. We've gotten ultra-suede furniture that is easy to clean, so pet hair is really not a problem. I find their behavior, and trainability to be better when you live with them in a way that works with their nature. Look at us (people) - do you work better with people who accept you, or with people who you feel don't accept you for one reason or another? I have a friend who has 7 dogs, all larger breeds. It's not possible to have them all in bed with her and her husband, but they all sleep near the bed. There's also one benefit for both the owners and the pets. If we see any signs of fleas...we sure take care of them quickly if they're sleeping with us, right?

We have a 9 pound poodle. When a couple of friends were pet sitting for her in their home early on as a puppy, they got her into this habit. You would THINK a little dog like this would be fine and it really is. The thing is, as small as she is, she thinks she OWNS the bed. She's has always been able to jump up on the furniture. Having said this, when she went to obedience training the instructor said that this is not a good idea to have a dog to sleep on the bed with you. It breaks down the alpha concept of running in a pack. What's become funny is that if I do NOT make the bed, there she sleeps when we are out for the day. If I make the bed, she's fine in her own bed.
