With one of my other dogs, I never even tried to make the bed until she got up. It wasn't like your dog - mine wanted to be left alone so she could sleep in. And - she acted like she would kill to stay there. She would growl and show her teeth and do everything she could to be threatening.
What is interesting is that this dog didn't have a mean bone in her body. I never heard her growl at any other time in her life. And, she never never bit anyone. She was gentle and playful and actually very submissive.
BUT - when she was in bed - it was best to leave her alone. For some reason, she totally loved sleeping in the bed. Of course, I could tell her to just knock it off and pick her up and move her....and she never bit me or anyone else.
---- My little Yorkie is more like yours. He thinks the bed is a play gym. And, yes, it is hard to make the bed with him around.
