IMO I would let them if.. they are above 4lbs anything less will be hard to "find" while sleeping... always keep them at or near head level in the bed or at the foot of bed.. if small. My chi is 8lbs 3 oz or muscle and bone (really no fat) and he can take care of himself and knows where NOT to be we had him in the bed at about 12 weeks i think maybe a tad sooner but his weight was over 4lbs. I have a new pup that is @9 weeks almost 10 1llb 4oz we do NOT have him in the bed we did the first night no hitches second night...he peed twice and pooped in the bed and then jumped down!!! He is kenneled each night no matter what and most nights if in there more than 4 hrs he poops in the kenel ... so a lot has to do withthe size of the dog and age ... if they never mess their cage after 7hrs.. i cant see a pup lasting 8hrs. then safe for a bed
We went camping this weekend and I had all 3 of my girls in bed with me. CoCo, Cotton and Tinker went all night and never had a problem. Me on the other hand had to get up in the middle of the night to go. LOL
my two doggies sleep with us, but be careful as Precious and Junior have had incidents where they have both peed on the bed! they seem to have stopped it now, so fingers crossed they are almost trained!!! xx
Toots sleeps with us. One time, early on, I woke up and could NOT find her. I was flipping out. We finally found her. She had fallen off the end of the bed, but was saved by the tucked in sheet. She was happily tucked in and asleep! Knock on wood, but everything has been great since then.
Chico is now 2 month old. When I fist got him his bed was next to mine. He of course started to whine so I just let him know I'm there and go back to sleep. It worked fine. Than when he got colds I let him sleep with me only ones and After that he refuse to sleep in his bed. So what I do is put his blanket on my lap and let him sleep there. Than when his fast asleep I put him in his bed. It works.
Dazy Mae sleeps in her little crate near our bed, but as much as I would love to have her snuggled up with me I am afraid she would jump off and injure a leg. Our bed is really high and even with a doggy ramp she could still fall.
She loves her bedtime crate and around 9 pm she sometimes just dissappears and that is where we find her. She has been like that since the day we got her. Even as a tiny puppy she has never cried or whined at night...
