| Help Me! We leave Bella in a crate on night, and put the crate on top of the bed. She goes in there on her own so I know she likes it, and she sleeps all the way through the night but we really just want her to sleep on the bed without the crate. On sunday we left the door open and she cam out at 12am and licked both of us all over and then went back in her crate and did the same thing at 2am, so at 2 am we decided to close the door. Mon night we thought well if her crate is not on the bed maybe she will do better. This time at 1am kisses and then she hopped off the bed and went underneath it so we had to get her crate and put her in it. How do we get her to sleep on the bed? Also we have not had an accident for a while and yesterday we had 2 pees in the house and last week we had one WHY? |

| She's getting off the bed because she doesn't want to go back in the crate. I never slept with my girls till they were 22 months and 21 months old. This way we didn't take a chance of them wetting the bed or wanting to go outside at all hours. Worked for us perfectly. |

| Molly won't sleep anywhere BUT on the bed, it doesn't matter who's bed, just A bed, there are 4 beds full of people in this house and she makes like a little tramp and picks a different room almost every night. Strangest thing is most of the time she sleeps UNDER the covers towards our feet, winter or summer it doesnt matter, she chooses to do so on her own, is that weird to anyone else? |

| Gypsy is 16weeks and she sleeps in the bed, starts off on my pillow and then moves, normally against the back of my legs or against my tummy at night, also under the duvet and then in the mornings she moves to snuggle near my head so when I wake up she's the first thing I see... which is usually her butt! She's been sleeping my bed since she was 10wks, she has a pee pad in the bedroom and always goes on it, I've never had an accident. She has a step to get up and down easily and she's made a hidy hole under the bed from some old curtains and she stores chews and toys under there in the day so she can amuse herself if she wakes up at night. She couldn't cope with being in the crate when someone was home so I had to move her to bedroom cuz she'd keep me awake all night and not settle at all. Once she got to sleep in the bed she loved it. Maybe she just needs time to get use to the idea, Gypsy will come and give kisses sometimes in the night but I just tell her she's a good girl and to lay down, lift the duvet up and she just crawls in and goes to sleep! If you've got a blanket or something in the crate then maybe you could try putting that on the bed for her to learn to associate the bed with sleep same as the crate is associated with sleep.
