Breaking habits

[Guest Anonymous]

Alright I know I've asked this before but I forgot the Response on it So Im going to ask again :) We are trying to break the dog of the habit of sleeping in the same bed as us, and I really don't know how to do it.. At first when she was younger it was cute because she didn't take up any room, now we are talking about a 20 pound dog trying to sleep in between two grown adults on a queen sized bed.. Don't get me wrong yes its feasible but when one of us wants to roll over... You can't because the dog is in between.. Now if its just one of us.. We're fine.. But I guess it has to be off the bed all of the time or none of the time or the dog gets confused right? WE've tried pushing her off in the middle of the night but within 10 mins shes back up there.. I've tried putting her in her crate at night.. She will whine the entire night :-(I think the reason why she whines is because her crate isn't comfy.. But everytime we put blankets in there for her she like rips them up and eats them.. The same with Toys.. Any Toy we give her she ends up eating through the rubber.. I know she is in that Teething phase but WOW! :)

But anywho.. Whats your alls thoughts? Anyone has Similiar problems?? Anyone been able to cure them? :)

Hmm. We had the same problem but just kicked Mr Kenzo off in the middle of the night if it's too crowded. Now it's rare he jumps up to sleep with us and if he does, he sneaks up so good you don't even know he's there!

Now, every morning expect to spend SOME time in bed with him. He at least needs to be in bed with us in the morning for some luvin'.

Okay so I took everyones advice and my Fiancee and myself tried the thing where if the dog gets up on the bed we put her back immediately ont he floor.. There was only twice where she actually got up on the bed. :) Needless to say I don't think Ms. Isabelle was too happy with us last night .. :).. But we were stern on things.. We both agreed the dog does not get on the bed. My question, its not as bad if there is only one person in the bed, it only gets bad when two people sleep in it. Can the dog distinguish between 1 person and two person wether its good to do it when 1 person is in there but bad if two people or is that too hard for the dog to understand? I also thought too.. TO try and keep her off the couches, after all we are humans she is a dog.. THere is a time to play but it should be done on the floor not on the furniture.. Right? So we kept her off of the couch all night.. She thinks she can get by with murder around my fiancee, but with me she doesnt' try a thing.. Whats up with that? So anyways.. She got the hint and she didn't try to get on the couch anymore, HOWEVER.. She did go over to the loveseat where noone was sitting and just hopped up there.. and layed downa nd looked at us with those puppy dog faces :-(.. lol.. Anywho.. Agani if we are doing the furniture thing is it all couches or no couches or?

So Anyways this is slowly becoming a success, Im still having problems keeping her from jumping on people though.. She is so exicted to see people she just doesn't think before she jumps.

ONe more final thing. I know she is in this teething face where any but everything she wants to bite through or tear apart. My question is, we have a crate.. Im affraid to leave that dog durnig the day :-(.. But we leave her in there.. Is there some type of comforter or something That Dogs Cannot chew up.. We had a nice little comforter in there.. Boom.. Straight shredded that.. Put a Sheet in there.. She started chewing up pieces.. Its like My god dog.. :).. Any Advice?
