Mine slept with me from the first. Jilly was 4 1/2 mos. when I got her, Tibbe 9 mos. At first I put them in the little airline carrier right next to me or put it on a chair & pulled it right up beside the bed, so I could put my fingers through the wire door. After a couple days or so - maybe a week, they slept with me in bed sans the carrier. You do feel safer with a dog right next to you nights.
