If you'd LIKE a dog in the bed get an italian greyhound.Odorless, no shed, super snuggly,motionless, the family fights over who gets ours when they come to visit. No dominance issues here....just sweet.
But I love my big stinkies! lol. They all need a bath in the worst way, but with it still hovering around the 20's during the day and my not wanting wet, crazy dogs running around my clean house (just did a massive pre-spring cleaning) kind of puts me between a rock and... a stinky dog in my bed when my hubby works nights.... lol tonight being the first of four in a row, lol!
But my dogs know that when they come up they need to lay down and get comfy quick or mom will kick them off I can be a mean mommy sometimes, lol.
Love my dogs. Love em. Especially on the floor, not on my sheets, not breathing, or worse in my face while I try to sleep. I buy nice big fluffy beds for them, separate from my own. I love my sleep, however fleeting it may be.

We let Max on the couch and very occasionally the bed. He tends to get over-enthusiastic about it though. He will anticipate the invitation and jump up at the worst possible times, usually stomping husband and I both in the wrong places.
He also likes to lick faces so when lying in bed he will come stand over us to lick - so he only gets to get on the bed when there's only one of us in it. That way there's no stomping and less excited licking.
New here, just joined. I'm adopting a rescue in a week. I all ready have 2 dogs that do sleep in my bed. I'd rather the new dog not, as much for space reasons as any. I've also 2 cats that sleep in the bed with us. I'm feeling guilty about having the new dog sleep in his crate in another room at night. I don't want any jealousy issues developing. Is it okay to have the one dog sleeping in another room and the other two in the bed? Thanks!
My 8 month old GSD puppy keeps jumping up on the bed and we have to order him off, he listens for a couple of hours. I guess I will have to stop laughing for it to stick.

I haven't seen this as a problem. I have one who sleeps on the bed, but dog beds on the floor for others. Same reason. It's just "This is the way it is" from the first day.
(They are all in the same bedroom, but that's a whole 'nother thing. You'll quickly assess whether the rescue will be better off with the crate in your bedroom, I think. I don't think it's a big deal, but I tend to err on the side of the new rescue integrating quickly. Still, probably not a big deal. It's the way you say it is.)

As long as it is a game for you, it will be a game for him.
I don't need to set an alarm clock. The pup let's us know when it's time.
Nothing else serves like a cold nose in the ear along with what feels as a wet dirty dish rag on the face for a, HOWDY! GOOD MORNING!!!!, wake up call.
