Teaching a dog to not sleep on our bed...?

I had this problem with one of my dogs. I would suggest buying a doggy bed, or thick, comfy blanket for him/her to lay on the floor with. I have a large dog, so I used an old comforter. A water gun might not be a bad idea either. (to spray him with, when he jumps on the bed) A good friend of mine has a smaller dog, and she said he likes sleeping under her bed.

Regardless of what works, it's going to take a lot of patience on your part. Before you lay down at night, spend a couple minutes petting him/her, and explaining in simple terms what is going on, while putting the pup in his/her new sleeping place. You would be surprised how much dogs pick up what your trying to say. Be firm, when you speak to the puppy, and do not give in. It might take several attempts before the pup starts to get the idea, but it should get easier as time goes on.

Good luck, and sweet dreams. Remember not to give in. It will get easier as the nights go on, I promise. (- ;

When he jumps on your bed say NO in a calm matter and get him off your bed after a while he should learn that getting on the bed is not a good idea. If that doesn't work you might consider using your crate I know it is not your first choice but my puppy sleeps in a crate and loves it in there (she didn't love it at first).I put a bed that takes up all the space in her crate so she feels comfy. Also laying a towel over the crate can keep him warm but make sure to leave a little bit of space so he can see and breath.

Yep. Persistence. Don't let him up on the bed for any reason. If he jumps on the bed, make the correction gentle, but swift. Put him back on the floor as quickly as possible. Try very hard not to get angry, because he has been taught that the nice soft warm bed has been OK for the past year... and now you have changed the rules.

If he jumps on the bed three times in a row, you can take him outside or put him out of the bedroom for 2 minutes. It is hard to do this correctly, because if he whines or barks and you let him in... then he has trained you to respond to him when he commands... so be aware not to let him back in unless he is quiet.

You can also train him to jump on the bed on cue.... then never give the cue. This is not 100% effective because the bed is such a good reward. But you can also give him a treat when he jumps OFF of the bed on cue.

Buy two of those pet cushion type beds & place them near your bed. Encourage them to stay there during the nigh time by putting treats or so until they get used to it. Training them & saying No, when they jump on your bed adamantly should make them realize that it's not a good behaviour. I have a Blue Point Persian that loves to get on the bed with me but only if I let him. He stay on the foot of the bed & meows until I snap my fingers to let him know he can. I'm sure your dogs are more Intelligent than my persian *****!

since he is trained u might still want to crate him at night. that way he will find out that he needs to sleep in there. letting a dog sleep for u since u had him and now just kicking him out of the bed is going to be difficult for him. u might just need to crate him at night and train him not to jump on furniture.

it will be very difficult, as the dog has had a long time of getting comfortable on the bed.

Get them a place of their own, that can be in a corner of the room, where they won't get stepped on and won't get in your way. Every time the dog jumps on the bed, tell them "no", and walk them over to their own space. As you are doing this, give them a command such as "go lay down" or "go to bed". They will soon learn this command means to go to their own bed and not yours.

Make sure to praise them when they are in their bed, and have a Kong toy or other goodie waiting for them in the new location.

if he goes on your bed during the day too try putting something like newspaper or something uncomfortable for him to lay on. if not just either not let the dog in your room when you're sleeping or just keep saying no when he gets up on your bed and take him off the bed and into his. eventually he will get the point especially if he already knows what no means.

I suggest u get him a doggy bed of his own. Then he might not want to sleep on your bed. As for my dog when he's in my room he's on the floor b/c he knows he's too large for him and me on the bed. But he does take naps on my parents bed. LOL I find if too funny to tell him to get off.

I've also heard theres heatable blankets for dogs and cats.

If you don't have a dog bed in your room, get one. You can also try some blankets on the floor. Try putting his favorite toy on the blankets or in the doggie bed and everytime he jumps up on your bed just put him back in his.

After a while, he will get the point.

Good luck!

well get him a bed and set it on your floor. When he jumps on your bed take him down and set him in bed and keep doing it until he learns
