Bed or no bed?

Bergmaus2701 · 02-07-2013, 11:41 AM

Ok so i'm hoping you can help settle a debate between my fella & I!

So in a morning our Beagle is walked first thing and then can have a morning nap in bed with either myself or my partner for an hour or too. We then get up and are out & about with him.

Later in the day we may go back into the bedroom and one of the first things Harvey will do is get on the bed. My partner will then tell him to get down.

I have said to my partner that we can't say to him that it's ok in the morning but not later in the day cos it'll confuse the hell out of him. He's either allowed on or he's not.

Do any of you agree or disagree. Your thought will be welcomed.

Cheers

That's a tough one. Molly is allowed on the bed if she feels like hopping up there or if she is invited. But we don't really want her in bed with us at night she she was taught to stay in her dog bed. Vazzle isn't allowed on the bed at all, she is too crazy and the 2 of them would fight. So I guess the answer in my house is yes they can be allowed on only at some times.

he does sleep in his crate at night.

I don't think it will confuse him. On the bed should be by invitation only. You can teach him to wait until he is told to come up. You can teach him to get off, when told. As long as he respects that, I don't see a problem.

Why would anyone want to keep a beagle off their bed? There's nothing better than a few beagles under the covers. Ooh snugly.......

I don't know, around here it seems to be all or nothing. They get completely confused when they can do something sometimes and not at other times.

Rascal comes up anyway! We are getting used to it too.
