My boys, Gizmo and Kilo, are kenneled at night or when we are not home. Kilo loves playing with his brothers. He's 18 months old and acts as if he's about 6 months old at times. Gizmo is just always on go. Maverick is left to his on vices after he forced me not to kennel him several years ago after destorying three kennels. His much calmer than the other two, until he is kenneled and no one is home. My pups do not sleep on my bed!
Cat, Drift and Tyra sleep on the bed. Cat usually parks herself on my pillow and will sleep with her head on my shoulder. Drift sleeps on Paul's feet. And Tyra generally stretches out in the middle of the bed.
Toni and Shyner jump off the bed when the TV and lights go out at night.
However, when Paul works nights and sleeps during the day, all 5 dogs are on the bed with him.

Olivia...your expectations are too high...he is, afterall, a mal...a 6mo old mal, ya know. LOL Give him a few years. HAHA Maybe by then he can keep his teeth to himself. MAYBE! ahahahaha
Where ever they want.
The youngest usually sleeps at the front door, the oldest on her bed in our bedroom.
Never had to bother kicking either one (or any dog) off the the bed though they can lay there, when I get into bed they magically find somewhere else.
My two GSDs usually sleep on the covered patio unless it gets to cold. Then they have double walled, insulated, straw filled dog houses inside my woodworking shop. Access via dog door in the wall.
It has to be well below freezing before they feel the need for the dog houses.
If the sun is out during the day the temp doesn't matter. They just lounge around and occasionally move when the shade hits them.
At just 17 weeks old, Faroh obviously sleeps in a crate, though in my bedroom. I have a suspicion he will be in there for quite a while yet! He likes it fine, and goes in there of his own accord when tired. Also, he is the first dog I've had that actually seeks out his dog bed, as opposed to flopping out on the floor, or some random spot.
Toro, my last GSD (the most sweet gentle soul) had a crate that he sometimes slept in, with the door open. For the first couple years I had him, he slept in the bed with me. Then he started to sleep under the bed, directly under me. In retrospect, I think it may have been that his hips were too painful to get up and down (severe HD by 4 1/2 years old). But he religiously crawled out from under the bed every morning right after I got up (never before!), until the last 2 weeks of his life, when he took to sleeping in the guest room. This is how I always remember him... I think it is the type of thing dogs dream about.

My 3 when younger used to sleep on a mat in the lounge room but as they got older grew more restless so into crates they seem more settled. Though sometimes they seem unsure which is which
Cicero after 2 years is finally allowed to sleep loose in the house. Vice was initially the first one allowed to sleep loose even though he his the youngest and most recent addition. Then he started having accidents so back in the crate he went. Fosters always sleep in a crate.
My 'kids' both sleep loose... but when I'm not home Koenig ( 1 1/2) is crated. Sara (2) is left out generally, but she's an 'old soul' type of young dog, and has never ever done anything naughty in the house.
