As corny as it sounds, my sweet rescue dog is like a guardian angel. He follows me everywhere (now waits outside the bathroom door) and needs to be with me at all times. I can’t emphasize what a beautiful soul this dog is; he is so full of love.
Since he came home a few months ago, he sleeps on the bed with me and my husband. He used to sleep between us but now mostly is on the foot of the bed (though he sometimes inches himself closer to the head of the bed). It’s really sweet and helps calm my anxiety, but lately it’s been a problem for me trying to go to sleep. I already have chronic sleep issues so falling asleep has always been hard for me. My dog is 34 pounds so he’s not too big, but it’s hard to move around in my bed because he’s usually in the way.
My dog is crate trained but he doesn’t like being in the crate. I’ve thought about putting him the crate to sleep but I’m worried he’ll bark all night. Any advice for how to get my dog to sleep on the bed in a place where he won’t keep me from falling asleep?
