Can my dog ​​sleep in bed with me?

I can't really imagine any dog ​​denying the opportunity to sleep with their owner, but for some of the owners it is difficult to get used to sleeping with your pets, as for some it is very easy to share a bed with dogs.

However, we do not have the answer to such a question and it is basically a question of one own decision And if you choose to sleep with you, you should know that it will be for the life of the pet, since it will be very difficult to take such a trick from a dog.

But can my dog ​​sleep with me?

Some studies have shown that those dogs that enjoy the privilege of sleeping in bed with their owners, they can present problems in their behavior, confuse their hierarchy in the family and become unruly and rude pets.

Actually it is not bad that they sleep with us, the question is how we teach them and what we allow them to do.

Practically depending on how it is taught, it will present some aggressive behaviors and other behavior triggered by dogs that sleep in bed, such as protecting the person they sleep with or the person with whom they have a better relationship when sleeping with a partner. When these behaviors occur it is important to delete them immediately since they are characteristic of a dominant dog.

We must bear in mind that the dog is our companion and not our enemy, so if you want to sleep with him, why not? After all it is an individual decision.

Why do our pets prefer our bed to theirs?

Your bed is probably much more comfortable, it also gives you pleasure to be closer to its owner and in the winter season, it is undoubtedly warmer.

But in case you don't want your pet to sleep with you, you need to make sure the dog has a good bed And that it is as close as possible to you and so that you can get them to sleep in your bed, during the time that the pet is a puppy it is very important to avoid raising them on the bed and on the sofa.

Dogs just like children need rulesHowever, they are also the first to break them.

However, some specialists highlight that it is better to let our dogs sleep with us after they are adults, since when they are very young they tend to be very clumsy and urinate anywhere, in addition they may bite anything they get on the bed due to the growth of their teeth, so if you want to avoid a disaster in your room and in your bed, the ideal is that you avoid sleeping in it while it is a puppy.

Now it is crucial that we talk about the rules that we must put to our dogs in case we allow you to sleep with us.

The dog must have good behavior in bed, if we talk about adolescent or adult dogs, it is important to allow them their space but letting them know that they must maintain proper behavior when in bed. It is necessary to avoid that the dog digs in the pillow or in the mattress or in some occasions chew the pillows, in case the dog breaks these rules you have to be very authoritative and let it be known that the privilege of being able to sleep in bed is lost.

If you have just adopted an adult or adolescent dog, it is necessary to wait a few weeks before allowing him to climb into bed, even if he shows good behavior, since is reaching a new environment and you have to allow it to adapt to it. It is important that a stable relationship is created between the dog and the owner before allowing any benefits at home such as getting on the bed or even the sofa.
