Gail, I think the problem is the boyfriend will not allow the member to do anything about the dogs behavior at night! He refuses to allow the dog to be crated or removed from the room! The member is being run from HER bed so boyfriend and his dog are in control of the room and situation.....our member is religated to sleeping in another room!

I am going to tell you what I would do about this situation, "Emmalee".....it will be harsh and tough, but it will in my opinion, force some difficult decisions and choices to be made....if the choices are not in YOUR best interests, it is best you know NOW where this partner's loyalty lies.

If I were you, continue to be the loving and caring partner you are....but that all stops at night. YOU have been relegated to sleeping in the guest/spare/extra room by your caring partner, because his DOG will not allow you to move about in the MASTER bedroom at night. No "play time" for or between momma and daddy, until you are allowed back into your master bedroom at night! Overprotective, jealous pup must sleep elsewhere in the house, either in a closed room or in a crate.....master bedroom is for the masters, period. You are going to have to address the issue with the dog, through actions you take between you and your bf. Cut him off and see how quickly he reconsiders different sleeping arrangements for the CURRENT "love of his life", his pup!
If this man cares anything about you and what is important or safe for you and his CHILD you are carrying/going to have, he will understand he can manage this behavior in his dog, and he is NOT being cruel or harming the dog. He has to do something to address this jealous behavior in the pup....God forbid the pup attacks the newborn out of jealousy....and it only takes a second for a dog to do serious damage to a baby.....
