How can I get my dogs to stay off the bed? HELP?

Posted May 15th, 2010 by admin

I have two adult dogs- a Boxer and a Shepard mix. I don’t like them being on my bed at any time. If my husband and I go to bed at the same time they will sleep on the floor in our room. If he goes to bed first they will wait until he falls asleep and get on the bed once he dozes off because they know it’s against the rules. I get so frustrated and I don’t know what to do.
Just now I went upstairs to find the boxer asleep on the bed- I got her off and said "Bad girl" and had her lay down on the floor. I went back up for something a few minutes later and she was back on there. Again I reprimanded her. So I pretended to go back downstairs and went back in the bedroom and there she was getting back on the bed.
Can someone please help me? If I go shower during the day, when I come out my dogs are on the bed.
Our bedroom doesn’t have a door, when you walk up the stairs you are in our room so there is no door to close to keep them out.
Please help me- I am at my wits end. I don’t know what to do. I am so frustrated with them. Please help
I should have mentioned that they do have beds of their own
My boxer is 4 and my Shepard is 2 1/2

I have to ask how old are they? Do you have crates/did you crate train them. It doesn’t surprise that these dogs want to be by your side at all times its what make them amazing breeds.

First of all, I always beg people not to hit or "tap" as people like to sugar coat it, being stern and consistent is the best approach to training them. If you have crates use them at night. A lot of people feel like dogs hate their crates but really they love them because it’s their own private space. What I did with my boxer was put his crate in the corner of my room for about 1 1/2 years then replaced it with a big bed. He transitioned quite nicely as it was located in his normal night time area. The last year or so (hes 5) I started letting him sleep on my bed but he knows that "Bed Kayne" means for him to lay in his corner.

pop them with a belt. I’m not saying beat them unconscious, but let them know you’re the boss. If you don’t have it in you to hit them, kennel training is GREAT! When they mess up, they go to the kennel for about ten minutes. Don’t leave them in there longer than that, because they forget why they’re in trouble.

put inflated balloons on your bed when you are not sleeping.

if the balloons pop they will scare the dog off the bed. if he gets on the bed the balloons move and scare the dog off the bed.

There probably getting up there cause the bed is softer than the floor, which doesn’t hurt their hips as much.
Try getting them their own beds and put them right beside yours (make sure there comfy). Encourage them to go onto their beds (like if they go from your bed to their bed, praise them). And try covering the beds with an old blanket and/or (if your able too) put a pillow inside/underneath the beds.

I had the same problem when dealing with my dog. My situation was a little different but the advice is the same.
The important thing is that you are consistent. Do not give up. Make sure that your boyfriend does the same thing so that the training will work.

What you do is every time you see the dog on the bed you say "OFF THE BED" say as a command not a favor. Then you grab the collar and take them off.

Then walk out for a few seconds, come back in and if they are on the bed do the same thing, if they are off pretend that nothing is happening because this should be a natural thing for them.
It should take a couple of days but if you both are consistent this is a easy job.

get a baby gate or a dog gate you can attach it or they have removable ones that wat thet can see you and you don’t need a door, but the gate is high enough to keep them out.

Baby gate at the bottom of the stairs. Sometimes it’s just easier to prevent problems rather than solve them. I have gate with a door that opens & closes easily- great investment!

mine is scared of the hair dryer! so find out what your dog is scard of so you actually place that thing on your bed so the doggiee won’t jump on bed when you’re not there.

You could try getting them there own beds. If they don’t seem so fond of sleeping on there own beds then you’ll have to get a door and close it when your not in your room so they won’t get on the bed.

Getting The Best Dog Bed

If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.
