Dog should sleep on the floor not the bed

After almost two years of living together I finally caved in and let my girlfriend buy a dog, actually I bought it. Picked it up at the humaine society 2 months ago. I told her from the day 1 I don't want the dog on the bed. She was ok with that, now for the past 2 weeks, she's been wining about letting the dog sleep in the bed. "I dont' want the dog in the bed"...she "Why? I do want the dog in the bed". Me "The dog should sleep on the floor not the bed, the bed is for us, not the dog."

This conversation keeps going in a circle and is really starting to piss me off and she's becoming very upset over this issue. I've been with this girl for 6 years living for 2. I really hope this new dog doesn't tear us apart.

I like the dog, she's sweet, except she pee'd and pooped on the carpet 3 times already. I guess not bad in 2 months.

The thing is I let her have a dog, great, I just want my bed.

That's pretty good for a puppy. Just wait until the dog pukes in your bed, then you'll both be sorry.

One of my dogs was a little sh*t when he was a puppy - so I took him to obedience school. The instructor was this hilarious no-nonsense 60 year old lady with far too much plastic surgery - but she was seriously like the dog whisperer. In the last session you get the dog to lie down and pour treats on the floor right in front of his face and he won't eat them until you say "okay".

Anyway, someone asked about this sleeping in the bed thing. She said "it's a dog, not a stuffed toy - do you want a stuffed toy? then go get one".

Seriously dogs do not sleep in bed with you - get a dog bed, put it next to yours so he can sleep in the same room, but not in bed. My dogs only get ON my bed on Sunday mornings when I sleep in.

Very unsanitary.....Dogs shit and piss and dont wipe and pee splashes on their legs etc.....We have a 190 lb great dane, for 1 no room on the bed, for 2 it would be disgusting and id sleep on the couch if he bullied me off the bed....

I don't see a problem with people who let their dog sleep on the bed, but I'm with you guys on this one. I go to work and earn money to pay the rent, buy my bed, and feed the dog. I want a good nights sleep and I couldn't get that with a dog rumbling around in bed taking up my space.

The dog is a dog, get him a damn dog bed, throw it on the floor and explain to your girlfriend if she wants to sleep with him she should feel free to join him in his bed, but you don't want him in yours. I would hope she respected and cared more about you then the dog, I don't see why this would be such a big deal.

I have cats, they are small and sleep on the bed with us at night, but if my girlfriend said she didn't want them on the bed my feelings wouldn't be hurt.

We have a dog bed upstairs in our bedroom and one downstairs in the living room. Our dog is quite content to have her own comfy place to sleep on.

I have my dog trained this well. I can put a plate of steaks down in front of him and he will not touch them. I can open the door and the dog will not come in or go out unless it is told. It took a lot of training on my part but it was worth it. I am still working on the new puppy.

You need to establish boundaries with the dog. If you let them do whatever they want, soon they will. A dog needs to know it's place. You need to establish that you are the dominant one or it will assume that role. You will all be better off because of it.

I'm biased. If its a big dog or a yappy energetic dog then no way!

However, I babysat a bassett hound once and that thing was a sound sleeper that liked to spoon. It was actually kinda nice. lol Such a dopy loveable dog.

I do agree with it being unsanitary. Ever look a a dog bed? You best be washing the sheets regularly. I hate the hair as well.

you spooned a dog?

^^^^ahahahaha

Note to self tell GF she cant get the dog so this doesnt happen to me. Dont get me wrong id love a dog but not when i gotta sleep in the same bed with it slobbering on me and between me and my girl LOL.

Stick by your guns brah. A dog is a animal, and sleeping on the floor is appropriate. IMO, I would never allow a animal into the "boom boom room".

my dog is spoiled. he sleeps on our bed on my side and is 100lbs.
lots of nights i get the worlds shittiest sleep. at least once a week i sleep in the spare room.

rub peanut butter all over your dick and balls and make it worthwhile for the dog to be in your bed.

Tell your woman:
reason 1 = because it is an animal, nothing else an animal
2 = animals sleep on the floor or their own bed/cage
3 = you are the only animal that sleeps in the bed in that house
4 = she can always buy a bed and get it a spare room and sleep with her dog if she prefers
5 = this is neither a debate nor a negotiation

the only time my dog gets on the bed at night is if I don't let him out for one last piss before bed. Then it is to wake me up to let him out. The best bed a dog can have is his own, that way, any mess stays in there.

my dog is spoiled but at the same time very well trained. I can put a plate of food down in front of him and not worry about him eatting it. But due to the hard floor and labs being prone to sores on the elbows, I let him sit on the loveseat lots. He also does sometimes sleep in my bed.

Now dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with letting a dog or cat sleep on the bed but due to medical reasons, both are no longer really in my room at all. Plus for all the big dog owners out there, costco has large dog beds for 23$ best deal i have found. My guy is about 86lbs and its still a little big.

Well, last night she didn't bring up the subject. The dog stayed on the floor by the bed. We did give her one of our old blankets to sleep on from day one. However, most mornings when I wake up, I usually find that the pup would go sleep under the bed. Better under than on the bed. Hopefully the gf won't ask for it to sleep on the bed anymore.

this

I made the mistake of allowing my weimaraner sleep on the bed when he was 6 mths. Matt's NOT happy about it and I'm retraining him to sleep in the crate. Keep her in a crate a nyte....

my dog sleeps outside of my room by the door..guarding me i guess...|German Shepard btw

Yeah crate training is the best IMO i trained my female boxer in the crate and then eventually bought her a little pet bed and put it beside my bed and trained her to stay put until i tell her its ok to get off. its funny in the morning she sits there waiting for me to get dressed just waiting for me to say "ok lets go outside" she just bolts to the door with excitment lol

New neighbours at my cottage have two great danes - awesome dogs, I had never met one before, they are so friendly and playful. I was surprised how well they got along with my bostons (20lb soaking wet).
