Sleep In Same Room As Dogs?

[Guest Celestrina]

Do your dogs sleep in the room with you, or do they sleep elsewhere? Because DH snores I was sleeping on the sofa. Angie slept downstairs too. Now i have my own bed in the guest room for when he snores. She no longer wants to sleep upstairs. She will eventually will go up, but I practically have to drag her. She is perfectly quiet.

Same room?? Same bed.

[Guest june]

One or two of them usually share the bed with me at least part of the night. My house is small (1 story) so they have roam of the house at night.

[Guest Symphony7]

Mine sleep in my room. Desmond (Terrier) sleeps on the bed and on his own bed during the winter, he switches based on how hot he gets. During the summer he sleeps downstairs on the couch because our AC doesn't work very well upstairs.

 

Achilles (Grey) sleeps on a dogbed next to me.

[jetcitywoman]

Yes, our "master" bedroom is really the "family" bedroom. Dogs in their own beds, and the cat in our bed between us.

[Hubcitypam]

Poodle and Barkley sleep with me. Buddy alternates between his two beds in my room and his favorite one of the three in the living room.

[Guest starbuck]

Starbuck sleeps in her room downstairs. We tried to let her sleep with her bed and blankets in our bedroom, but she made enough noise during the night (head shaking, licking, pacing, twitching, yipping, snoring) that we weren't getting enough restful sleep.

[Guest Wasserbuffel]

Jayne sleeps where I sleep. If I'm in the bedroom, she's in her crate. If I sleep on the couch, she's either on another couch or curled up with me. When we had a spare bed, she would sleep on it with me.

[Guest houndsnmore]

We have two small dogs that sleep in the bed with my husband and I, Pepper however has her own bed at the foot of our bed. Queen size bed, 2 ppl, 2 small dogs and a greyhound in that bad ain't gonna happen, lol

[greytpups]

Yes, we do...plus I have 2 leashes hanging up on the back of the door just in case there's an emergency and we need to get Ben and Brooke out of the house safely.

[Guest Gemma]

Fosters sleep blocked in by the side of the bed. I've found this makes them feel more secure and it prevents them from wandering/having accidents during the night.

 

Peyton usually sleeps in the living room on one of the sofas and then climbs into bed with us around 4am. This is a perfect arrangement since I can't fall asleep when he's in the bed (he's a bed hog!) but sleep through him getting in. And I love waking up and finding him cuddled up to me.

 

Our current house guest, Agnes, gets free roam. She usually sleeps on the air mattress in the spare bedroom but sometimes she'll join us in the bedroom as we keep a bed down just for her. This morning I woke up surrounded by my pups and that is just the best feeling ever.

I'm the Pied Piper in our house: where I sleep there be the 4 pets. It's very sweet, but also a hassle. Neither of the dogs get on the bed, but when I sleep in the main bedroom, the two cats are plastered to my sides and the two dogs are in the dog beds in the bedroom. When I sleep on the couch, the two cats are on top of me, and the two dogs are on the dog beds in the living room. When I "migrate" in the middle of the night, there's a massive migration with me.

 

(The few times that Monty is comfortable on his bed in the living room and doesn't want to expend the massive effort to walk 15 feet to the bedroom, the other dog will fuss at both us and him until we call him in. She grumbles and whines at us, and then goes into the living room and barks at him.)

This is charming.

 

 

Hester can only be where I am. Not in the same bed but on his own bed beside me and postioned so he can stare at me.

[GeorgeofNE]

George CAN sleep where he wants. I can't leave a room without him escorting me, so yes, he sleeps in the bedroom!

[Guest Downtownhoundz]

Bunny not only sleeps in the same room, he sleeps in my bed with his head on the other pillow. He will let me know around 8:00pm when it's time to come upstairs and go to bed!

[Guest RMarie]

Nope. After we stopped blocking off the downstairs at night, James decided he'd rather sleep in his crate in the family/living room. We like it. He used to dig so much at his bed in the bedroom that we never got enough sleep. He knows where to find us if he needs to go out...or eat breakfast. This morning, he trotted upstairs for a bed check...then went back downstairs until the alarm went off.

Annie Bella sleeps on her own bed in my bedroom. She's never shown an interest in getting on the bed and I've never encouraged her. If I get up in the middle of the night and come downstairs because I can't sleep, chances are good she'll stay upstairs because, I assume, she's warm and comfy.

[Trihounds]

Only 1 of our 4 occasionally sleeps elsewhere. Others are in room / bed. Not sure about our loner, but he's been here 8 months and maybe still figuring stuff out. Who knows?! But we let he be...

[Guest Krizzy]

Hammer has his own bed next to ours upstairs in our bedroom. If we fall asleep on the couch, he sleeps in his bed by the couch. Basically, he sleeps wherever we are.

[September]

All of mine sleep with us- Cookie has a bed in my room.

[greysmom]

We have always kept our dogs in our bedroom - for security and just because they seemed to want to anyway. The only exceptions have been when a couple got so elderly and weak they couldn't make it up/down the stairs. They were content to spend the night on a dog bed in the living room.

[silverfish]

I'm in a similar situation to you. I have moved downstairs because of my DH's abominable snoring - I don't sleep well at the best of times and if he goes to sleep before me, I can't sleep. If I wake and he's snoring I can't get back to sleep, EVER.

 

So now the dogs want to be able to sleep with me, even though one or the other will sometimes elect to sleep somewhere else ... I kind of like them there. At the same time I don't really want them there because I'm asthmatic and like to keep the dander out of the room where I sleep because it all contributes to the dust mite population. However ... the dogs have got used to the option of sleeping with me and now don't like being shut out.

 

To be honest, I don't care enough to work on the problem. And as I said, I'm ambivalent anyway, because I like having them there. :

 

I haven't noticed any training or behaviour problems though, if that was your question. They jostle for my attention anyway, and haven't got worse.

This is the same thing with Franny.

[Brandiandwe]

The dogs have a bed on either side of our QS bed. There is sometimes some competition for the bed on my side, but generally, Paige claims it and sleeps there through the night., Brandi will join me in bed to start with and spoons up to me, cuddling me with her paws and using DHs pillow, till DH arrives. He then spends 10 minutes prying Brandi off the bed and onto her own bed. Ata bout 4.00, Brandi rejoins us on the bed and snuggles up until Paige wakes up and decides to greet the dawn by snuffling in my face and farting.

[DesiRayMom]

Same room, same bed; actually, MOST of the bed. I am allotted a small sliver.
