Reagan just turned 1 and in the past few months I've noticed a change in her. When I would sit in the arm chair I would always put the foot thing out for her to lie on now here lately often times she will climb on up to my lap and lie on me. She will also sit by me and lay her head on me to get me to pet her. She's become extra sweet these past two months or so. As far as the bed goes she's always had to lay up against one of uswhen we goto sleep. We got her in Feb so maybe it started out for warmth I don't know. I definately could be the age.
I might also recommend you continue working on your training at home, which you may already be. Just because I've noticed with one of my big dogs he is devoted to me like nothing you've ever seen before and he was my first dog so I worked with him a lot. He's 5 now and where ever I go he goes if I sit down he will sit down and eventually lie down once he realizes I'm not going anyway, then if I get up he gets right up too. I've noticed this a lot with hunting dogs and work dogs as well. I've heard that training creates a bond that you've never seen before and the more I see the more I believe it. It may not happen right now for you but I believe in the future it will definately be worth it, not to mention you will have a very well behaved pup.
Either way I'm sure he will turn around one day.
