My pup has slept with me since he was 8 weeks old when I got him.
From the start - he could climb on anything - all my furniture. And when he jumped off he scared me todeath..... because he didn't carefully get down. He'd jump out and up and awaaaaaaaay --- making about a 6-foot jump for himself. But he always made it.
He has a step and easily get on and off my bed. When he was a pup he always slept well through the night and never fell off the bed.
We've just never had any problems. You might try it for a night or two and see how it's going to work. I'll bet he'd rather snuggle up with you than be in a basket --
