I want to let my Daisy sleep in the bed with me, but I dont know when would be a good age to allow that, due to potty training... she is only 7 weeks old right now, and I feel like she may potty in the bed. So, if you allow your dogs to sleep with you, at what age did you begin allowing it, and what signs did you look for to make sure they were ready?
I dont sleep with mine as they are to trusting and it worries me I and my husband are very hard sleepers and I am afraid we would roll over on them and smother them or hurt them in some way. I have attempted numerous times to roll over on Yoshi to see what he would do and he doesnt move so I decided not to sleep with them.
I am sure others here will be able to help you with this though

Well Out of 10 dogs I have 8 of them sleep with us but at the moment since I have 2 in heat only 6 are in my bed. I stared with crate training and waited till they were about any where between 4-10months. It matters if they seem ready to sleep in our bed. But soon as I got my scottie since she was older and bigger. The night we got her she slept in our bed and did pretty good for her first night.
Just wait till she gets bigger and then try short naps with her in bed first. Really poop her out during the day and show her that the bed is time is sleepy time. If you worry about her wetting the bed, I have pet stairs for my bed. So if mine have to go potty during the night they go down the stairs and go potty on the wee wee pads I have laid out. So I wish you the best of luck!
I waited until Chloe had a better grasp of potty training and until she was a little bigger (prob around .. she was so small when I first got her I was way to scared. I love sleeping with her she snuggles right up under my blankets next to my tummy... i love her company

Thank you Mandy for the siggy!
ItZy now sleeps with me at 4 1/2 mo. old. I waited until she was aware she could get down and go to her potty pad on the other side of my bedroom. She generally sleeps through most the nights now so it's not a problem. She was about 3 1/2 months old I think and would go to her pee pad without prob. I had crate trained her in there at night letting her out 1 x each night anyway.
My bed is low enough for her to jump up on without any assistance as she thinks she is a Jack Russell Terrier anyway.

All of my babies sleep in bed with me. They know the word "bed time!!!" and run right up into my room. I've never had a problem with them wetting the bed because they jump off and do their business in front of my door >:O But I usually catch them.
CoCo and Cotton have slept with us since they came home to us @ 12 weeks. I tried for the first couple of nights to kennel train them but all they did was whine. Tinkerbella on the other hand is quite content to sleep in her kennel.
Do you let your chi(s) sleep in bed with you?
