When we first got our first Yorkie, she was already spoiled by her previous owner, she growled and whined to get on our bed. We ignored it for the first night. It was tough to sleep through it but after 20 minutes, she gave up and slept on her dog bed. On the second night, she did the same thing until my husband said a firm no. She stopped and went to her bed. She didn't complain again since then. After one year, I changed my mind and put her on my bed. It was so cute seeing how happy she was to be on our bed. She was hopping like she was hopping from a cloud to another in heaven. So adorable and she wasn't difficult to sleep next to as she likes to sleep under the cover and next to my feet. After few minutes, she'd get too warm and crawled out to sleep on top.
