Most books will say that because it is a big issue. But it doesn't have to be a problem. Okay we take Cesar's words about being the pack leader, which also means that if you are the pack leader then your dogs are your pack. Okay also take in what he says about you doing things first then allow your dog to do them basically showing your pack that only when you allow them can they also do these things. Okay you still with me? Alright now put this in your head, wolves in the wild are a pack right and when they hunt, eat, sleep etc it is always with the pack. But it is the Alpha pair that says when they do it.
So my thing is this if I get into bed then call the pack to bed then there are no problems. So far it has worked for me. All my dogs sleep in the bed but I get the prime spot.
