I was way to easy on Diva. She had a huge fenced off area in the dinidg room for her to play and sleep. Well she didn't feel like it. So I would leave the gate open and she would come up to the bed when she was ready for bed. We had a few nights were she would get off the bed and go play but she didn't play on the bed much. Now as soon as I say it's time for bed she gets on the bed and curls up. She goes right to sleep.
The only time I have a problem is when my boyfriend would come home for visits. She would get so excited and just lick his face and bug him all the time. But this last time he was home she was better. He is moving home for good in June so hopefully she will get used to him. But My boyfriend's dog sleeps on the floor on his own bed and Ben wants to train Diva to do the same thing. I'm not sure how that will go.
But if you are just consistent about it being bed time and not play time I'm sure it will work out.
