I have three very lovely dogs, they?re not too big, but they like to sleep on my bed at night (even though they have very nice comfy beds for each one). The thing is that they go to bed to their beds and wait until my husband and I fall asleep to jump onto our bed and significantly reduce our sleeping space. Please help!!!
i might accept as true with the mouse seize component. a chum used that attitude to coach her cat to stay off the counters and it worked nicely. Like they suggested, do not use rat traps because of the fact they're plenty more advantageous and ought to truly harm her in the event that they snap on her foot, because of the fact she won't have the means to get it off till you get domicile. i might scatter various on the mattress and canopy them with a mild weight blanket or sheet so she will't see the place they're. whilst she jumps up the noise will scare her off. I say conceal them with a blanket because of the fact if it become my dogs he'd probable climb up on the mattress heavily to avert them as quickly as they snapped at him the 1st time =) plus that's a little extra cushion to help forestall harm
I don't understand people..sometimes it's just better not to get them into certain habits. If you allowed them on the bed often, that is what they are going to expect. Just get them off the bed and say OFF sternly as many times as you have to. If this don't work, have them sleep outside of the bedroom.
I do is I gently push my dog off my bed and if that doesn't work lead them off of your bed with a treat, put their beds in your room at night, close door
1. Teach an off cue and practice it all over the house, and with the bed at other times besides bedtime. Reward lavishly. 2. Teach a go to your bed cue, and practice it with the bedroom dog beds, at times other than bedtime. Again, reward well. 3. Practice having them stay on the dog bed for longer and longer times, again, not at night time. You might want to do Karen Overall's Relaxation Protocol which, among other good things, can help a dog learn to stay on a dog bed despite lots of distractions and temptations. Include your sitting on the bed, and lying down in it briefly,then for longer periods, as one of the distractions/temptations you present to your dog. Since it isn't your bedtime, if a dog jumps on the bed, just get out of the bed silently and walk away -- give attention/treats to a dog that's staying on a dog bed, if you'd like. You might want to put a cue on the final expectation to stay on the dog beds, like goodnight. 4. Go to bed early for the first few nights you want to enforce their getting off of your bed and going to theirs, so you have some extra time and aren't desperate to sleep. If a dog gets on the bed, tell him/her off, then go to bed (or whatever cues you've put on the actions), and toss a treat to the dog as he gets to the dog bed. 5. Keep tossing tiny treats to any dog who stays on a dog bed, for a while. 6. Repeat, if needed, until the dogs all stay on dog beds. If any of them seems to be developing a behavior chain (jump on the bed in order to be told to get off, and get a treat!), gently lead that dog out of the bedroom and close the door for a brief time. Then give the dog another chance.
Close your bedroom door, or as soon as you feel them jumping up, say AhAh! as soon as they get off, praise them. hard when you're half asleep, but worth it, right?
