Do you let you dog sleep in your room?

As per poll.

Troy sleeps in a crate in my room, but is becoming a pain as I never get any sleep these days.

GF doesn't think he should be in the room. I wouldn't mind, except for him moaning and getting me up all of the time.

Suki sleeps on the bed with us. We have a very large bed though so there is plenty of room

Moo sleeps on my bed

Millie and Bella both sleep on my bed. They are kind enough to leave a little room for me

I would luv to hav Mia in our room with us but she's too much of a fidget and I don't think she'd sleep I think she would just lick us both to death!!
Plus I'm worried about her falling off the bed/ falling down the stairs etc, maybe when she is bigger we'll have her in bed!

When you let Violet sleep in with you, she manipulates you with licks and claw stabs until you move so that she is perfectly comfortable, lying diagonally, with her head on the pillow, whilst I lie crumpled up, with minimal covers and a dogs bum in my face. Mostly, she sleeps in her crate!

we let marley sleep in our room a couple of times, once when we had the father in laws staff stay over and the second time when it was really cold, but i said never again after he jumped on my head and gave me a black eye

Rocky sleeps on our bed too. Luckily we have a super king size bed

LOL

Troy has a crate in my room which he will go into with me having to tell him and will settle down to sleep.

It stops him from fidgetting, getting up, roaming, jumping on the bed etc. Maybe some of you guys having problems could try getting a crate?

My only issue is on a weekend really. I get up at 5:15am on a weekday to walk him before work, so I am getting up before him anyway..no problem (unless he snores which is another issue).

However, he wakes up at 6:30am or so on a weekend so I never, ever get much sleep. I wish he would just sleep till 8 or something LOL. 6:30am is a lie in for me now

He will just moan constantly until I open the crate door. He will try and walk out but I tell him bed and he will usually settle for another 30 minutes or so if I am lucky. Opening the crate door shuts him up for a little while for some reason.

Skye sleeps in the kids room and buster sleeps in our room both on beds and when the kids have friends round both sleep in our room
They always have a fidget to start but sleep really quickly
Skye will lay in as long as poss and buster wakes me at 6 am for a wee and breakfast then if I'm not working back to bed and he will sleep till I get him up

I would be cautious of getting Troy up for food but then going back to bed without a toilet break, as he may be needing to go with it also being overnight?

At 6 am he always goes both just before his breakfast and gets let out at 11 pm at night
They do like routines

Oh okay.

I thought you meant he just ate at 6am and went back to bed without a toilet break.

No, I Don't think its fair as she cant sleep in my bed when she in in season or when I'm busy with my lady time - it's not hygienic.

She has got in a couple of times and I've woken up with her curled up behind my knees.

Se is better behaved having her own space and not sharing the 'king of the house' place too.

iv let mines sleep in the room a couple of times, he wakes about 4 am and starts top fidget and lick his paws, anoys my mrs more than me so she says he has to go down stairs when i turn the telly off to go to sleep, think i should put the mrs in another room and sleep with the dog

Hahah!

I know the feeling. His snoring and licking his paws wakes me as you mentioned. He would moan his head off if I tried to make him sleep downstairs now though

Misty sleeps in our bed, usually starts off in with my daughter, them migrates. I'm the one she nudges awake for a toilet break, luckily infrequently. She keeps my feet warm in winter and likes a lie in most days with my wife. As a child our miniture dachshound slept with me or my parents too.

Saxon sleeps in a crate in my room.

How do you get on with Saxon in the bedroom? Do you end up getting up earlier than you would like?

Marley starts off in his crate in my room and then moves to my bed sometime during the night. i sleep heavy so never hear him, i usually wake up to a big black nose in my face

Cairo sometimes sleeps in my bed.Mostly when my hubby is on early shifts.He goes to work at about 5am,i let cairo out to the toilet then she gets back in bed with me.I have to be careful to dust all her hair out of the bed,otherwise he moans that the bed is itchy because of her hairs lol

When I got my first staff it was just me n him so he slept in my bed with me..nowadays I have a family, kids getting in in middle of night so the fur babes sleep in the kitchen in their own beds, tried having them upstairs but they get me up n iv enough on with the kids!

No, he's good about letting us sleep. Mainly because he also likes to sleep in late, as well!

Dam, I wish Troy would sleep in late.

Depending on how he is laid down, he can do some almighty snores! Woke me up last night

Sounds like his air ways partially blocked when in a particular position? Sort of like that snorting sound they could do on check chains.

Tilly couldn't get to sleep anywhere but our bed on a night , sometime's wanders into the daughters room at 5 or 6 for another couple of hours but thats about it, and she gets herself under the covers if its cold

Sophie sleeps in her crate in our room.

Yup Bailey shares my bed lol! On top of the covers mostly, but comes under if he gets cold haha !

My two both sleep IN our bed with me and the OH

Our first Staffy used to sleep in our room with us. She drove us barmey with her snoring,farting,fidgeting and licking so we swore the next one would stop downstairs!! I can still hear her snoring from downstairs tho

Maska sleeps in the room with us. He is actually very good - he will go to sleep on his own bed and stay there most of the night. Its getting to winter now, and here by 4am he seems to either be cold or in need of a cuddle, so he jumps onto the bed.

The first night home with Bailey (he was a rescue-10 months old) we were given a crate and he cryed the whole night. So next night we let him in with us and has been ever since. He was very excited for a few nights, jumping about but we kept the lights low, spoke in calm quite voices and now he is much better. He only gets upstairs to go to bed, and he now whines when he wants his bed ( he has a downstairs beanbag that he naps on during the day) Best thing we did-apart from getting him, although the smells are twice as bad now that I have 2 men in my bed????-thats my partner and Bailey

Current foster sleeps on my head in bed.
In a previous life, she may have been a hat.

I dont let any pets sleep upstairs , i think some things are sacrlilage. With 3 cats , a staffie, 2 kids , there should be at least one place we can relax excepts the bog! Lol

Nope. He's not allowed on the furniture (he's already put a couple of sneaky bitemarks in the couch ), so we don't let him upstairs, since there'd be no point. His cage is in the living room. Not to mention even if he was good enough to sleep in my room, I'd never get any sleep because whenever he sees me he either wants food or playtime.

Very occassionally as a special treat. Betsy looks at me in disbelief when I invite her in- as if she's thinking Really!!!!
We both love our sleep so fortunately she settles really well. She's a great spooner but the special treat is when I lift the quilt up and head first she sleeps by my legs. Betsy loves to snuggle altho unfortunately I then get the bum view of her- mmmmm. Just as well I love her so

Tommy likes to sleep on top and Tilly is a tunneller , great this time of year 100000000000 times better than a hot water bottle but I'm in a hotel tonight so no Tilly and Tommy

No - not after my little schipperke attacked my partners ankles when was climbing into bed one night! I can't blame Coal though - it was the middle of the night (Arthur was working night shifts) and he had only just moved in with me about a week before. After that incident the dogs were banned from the bedroom.

About a year later I got my staffy Henry - but to be honest he snores terribily so I don't think I'd wont him in the bedroom anyway!

Indy is quite happy in his, bed he'd probably like to sleep in our bed ... but hey we have only not long got the kids out. He does come in every morning to wake us up and to let him out for toilet time.

I replied on my bed - however they have beds either side of there own but both about 4am get up on our bed and snuggle up for a few hours haha, I think during the night its too hot and they like there own space we have never encouraged them up or told them NO if they tried, they seem to have made the rules themselves, Paddy is first up and think that wakes Ruby the other side and up she gets, Ruby gets inbetween us Paddy remains by our feet.

Bandit won't sleep anywhere but under the covers up against either me or my husband's legs or back. Has done since he was a pup. Usually sleeps right thru until one of us gets up, even though he is nine now. Have to admit there have been a couple of times recently where he has needed to step outside and gotten us up but luckily, so far, it's only been nights when we've gone to bed early.

No because of her snoring (Cassie's not the mrs') i can hear Cassie snoring downstairs in her crate, botty purping and the noises she makes while dreaming and i love the greetings i get 1st thing in the mornings

Darcy sleeps downstairs in her crate, she has her crate to sleep then the use of the Porch-(indoors) too to stretch her legs and have a drink :-)

We resisted for 2 months...

Gwen sleeps in bed with us 90% of the time. Some nights she just can't calm herself down and we put her in the crate for awhile and when she calms down we let her back in our bed!

Yep on the bed  I swore he would start sleeping in his own bed again when we moved house but no, i missed my water bottle

we had milo in our room for the first 2/3 weeks till he settled in now he is in a crate downstairs

we should really have another poll on here now

"Does your dog allow you to sleep in your bed ???"
