After having Kirby, a yorkie that slept with his head on pillow spooning my husband I was determined that Lola would sleep in crate in our room but not on the bed. I am a restless sleeper and had to many near misses of squishing Kirby so I was nervous. Even though it was working well and Lola would sleep quietly all night long in her crate my husband hated not having her in the bed with us. So we started bringing her up on the bed. Most of the time she sleeps between us at the foot of the bed, since she loves sleeping in her own beds during the day, I now bring a small bed with raised sides up onto our bed and after a couple of minuets of cuddling, she heads down to her bed on our bed and hardly moves all night. If your dog is the type that would sleep in a bed on your bed I highly recommend that, I think it keeps them in one place and makes it much safer, not long ago Lola went through a stage where she seemed to want to sleep on the edge of the outside of the bed, I was so afraid that she would either fall off or I would roll over or move my feet and kick her off. I would keep picking her up and putting her back in her spot so she finally gave up and just stayed put. Even though we have carpet I am still afraid she could get hurt if she got tossed out. When I stay at my sister's house her guest bed is smaller than mine, plus she has wood floors and no rug by the beg so I make Lola sleep in a bed on the floor, she did not like it at first but eventually she gives in
