My puppy has been sleeping with me since he came home at 9 weeks, he's 13 weeks now and he is still sleeping with me. He doesn't have accidents on the carpet or the bed ((knock on wood)) but he has accidents in his own bed
I have a rubbermaid right next to the bed and when he has to use the bathroom or wants to play for a bit he will paw my face or whine a bit till I wake up. I place him in the rubbermaid and he goes potty and wants back on the bed when he is done, or he just sits in there and plays with his toys.
(In the rubbermaid I have one side wee pad and the other side bed and toys, also he doesnt/cant jump out of it)
Also he is a tiny guy 2.1lbs and if he senses that I'm moving around alot, he will just move up higher up on my pillow, or move to the bottom of the bed, away from my feet.
But I do agree with
Gracie2006 It would be very difficult for him to have to sleep elsewhere now, after being allowed to do this.
I tried to do that with my guy a couple of times this week and he wasn't have any of that. Once he started going from whining to barking loud, I had to get him up on the bed because I knew my neighbors were going to be mad if they woke up at 2am to his barking. (I live in an apartment)
