I started Oliver off in a crate beside my bed, and he HATED it.. I'd be lucky to get 7 hours sleep a night, and many nights/mornings he'd freak out and cry to get out. Once I knew he was potty trained, I let him sleep with me. He makes the rounds on the bed, usually starts off by my feet and then as he gets cold he'll come cuddle up to my back. Usually by morning he's right beside me. I LOVE it, I've never had a dog who would sleep with me. He even stays in bed in the mornings for a good half hour while I go get ready, he just lays where I sleep and goes back to sleep! It's great! Now when I say "are you ready for bed, Ollie?" his tail wags and he comes right to me to lift him up. My only worry is my new bed is really high, he's only fallen off once in a few months so hopefully he's learned not to roll of the edge.. lol.. I have pillows all around the sides on the floor just in case.
