Where does your dog sleep?

Your dog plays all night because he's crated all day, very simple explanation. If he's crated, the dog has no way to appropriately burn all the energy he has stored, so instead, saves it for night-time when he's free of the crate and able to roam free.

Allowing the dog out during the day, and allowing him to burn energy will ensure your pup sleeps well at night. If you allow your pup out during the day, and give him tons of mentally and physically challenging tasks and exercises to do, he's guaranteed to sleep at night, and it's a matter of "fact" not luck.

If he's just mastered potty training, I'd still make sure I reinforce it and bring him out for as many frequent potty-breaks as possible.

My dogs sleep in the bed, or on the sofa or pretty much wherever on the floor when I'm home, and I can supervise what they are doing. When I'm working, or at school/otherwise, they are kept crated because God only knows what mischief they'd get themselves into without me supervising them. One of my dogs, my Chihuahua is sleeping on the couch, as we speak and my other dog, Pit Bull Terrier, is sleeping sprawled out on the kitchen floor.

My dog is free to sleep wherever he wants. He will start off on my bed, but if I wake up in the night or in the morning, I have found him in his bed, on the floor, in another room. He sleeps where ever he is the most comfortable. In the summer, he likes to sleep on the tile in my entry way because it's the coolest place in the house.

I have never once crated my dog. I trained him to use a potty pad in the laundry room. He has never ever peed anywhere in the house except on his pad and I give him the full run of the house when I am gone. I want him to have the space to run or play or just stretch out if he wants to. All day is pretty long for your dog to be confined to a crate.

My puppy usually starts out on the bed, but ends up in her own bed in the bedroom. When I am gone, she stays in the yard. With my past dogs, they would stay in the yard when the weather was nice and in the house when it wasn't. Sometimes I would give them a choice and they usually wanted to go out. I have an energetic breed, and leaving them crated when I was working was unthinkable except when they were very young. My current puppy is not yet at the point where I trust her in the house when I'm gone.

My dogs sleep where ever they want. They are allowed on the furniture, on my bed and they also have their own beds. At she usually sleeps with us.

I've always had well-trained dogs, they never do any damage or have any bathroom accidents and are quite trust worth.

We never leave our dogs in the house when we are not there. Two of them are very destructive when they have no supervision. Only one is crated through the night, the other is very old and sleeps on a blanket, and the other is meant to be a guard our farm (it's a Pyrenees Mountain Dog), so she stays outside during the night.

My dogs are kenneled while I am not home and they are also crated at night. I will usually let one of them sleep with me and there is a rotation schedule. I don't feel bad either because they get plenty of play time when I am home.

Just when you get home from work make sure that you play with him and take him on long walks. Tire him out as much as you can. It could also be that he is just not old enough to be out of the crate all night. He is still a puppy so he will push the boundaries to see what he can get away with.

My dog used to sleep in the living room in his cozy bed, until he decided to use his bed as a chew toy and complete destroy it. Lately he's been sleeping outside because a friend is over. I haven't gotten him a dog house yet, it's still waiting, but once he does he can stop sleeping on grass and in his new dog house!

It's hard at first to turn your indoor dog into an outdoor dog because he will be trying to get in the house at any moment he sees. and also he'll give you those puppy eyes every time he sees you through the window. but he'll get used to it soon. don't neglect your dog though, they need a lot of attention and interaction. you don't want him getting lonely and bored either so leave him a bunch of toys and play with him often.

My two occasionally sleep with me a few times a year, the rest of the time they sleep in their own beds on the porch (enclosed and heated).

When we are not home they stay either in the house or in their kennel which is 6' x 12' x 6', weather permitting. And it is padlocked. It contains an automatic waterer and a misting system. We are not gone more than 3-4 hours, should we be gone longer they come with us.

my dogs sleep in my bed usually, and i have one of their beds in my room. Alice likes to sleep in my bed or on the dog bed, and Finn likes the floor or the bed.

it's funny because when i first got Finn like 5 months ago, he was still a puppy and he slept in the bathroom, and he would pee and poop in there throughout the night. then one night i decided to try to let him sleep with me, and that was the first time he slept throughout the night without peeing or pooping! he just wanted to snuggle <3 lol

being in a crate all day doesnt sound fun :( if you have a fenced yard maybe consider getting a doggy door and let him roam the house, then he has access to going potty when he needs to
