Should your puppy sleep in your bed?

In the dog world, the "alpha" sleeps higher than the rest of the pack, so it is important that the puppy be taught its place in the family and never be allowed on the bed or other furniture. If the puppy is already used to getting on the bed, temporarily place the puppy's bed in a small room or closet where it will have no choice but to sleep on that bed. (You might have to put up with some crying for a night or two.) Once the puppy is used to sleeping on its own bed, move it to where you want it permanently. Repeat the process, if necessary, until the puppy knows you are serious about it.
