I read some advice before getting Teddy which stated that crating a dog away from you at night helps to prevent separation anxiety. In reality, it terrified him and he barked for hours at night until, at 9 months of age, I called b.s. on this 'advice' and moved his crate to my room at night. He never barked at night again and is 2 years old on Saturday. They probably just want to be near you after not seeing you all day. There's no harm in putting them in the room with you.
