Bedtime!!!

[PallasMommy]

Hi all -

I read somewhere that Corsi should not be allowed to sleep with their owners. Is this true? I've always slept with my other dogs before Pallas. Right now she's in bed with me and it is a bit trying. I may end up putting her on the floor. Lol. Any ideas or advice?

Thanks!!!!

I say it's up to the individual and their dog(s). Oscar's not allowed in bed with us partly because there's just not room with hubby and myself and two cats and partly because Oscar tends to fart a lot when he sleeps and I don't want to asphyxiate some night. Also, Oscar is already more attached to me than hubby and I don't want him to think that he always gets to be close to me.
I would say that it's entirely up to you ... I have an EM rather than a Corso but I can't think why Corsi would be specifically barred from sleeping in a human bed.

Vulcan and Vickie, two of my Corsi, sleep with me every night. No problems. Save on heat in the winter too.

Bear our Akita gets in bed with us and gets out when we turn the lights off, we have no problems at all and wouldnt mind if he slept the night through. Personally I think as long as they get down when asked to without ANY grumbles, growls or arguement then whats the problem other than fur on your bed, stinky dog farts and bed hogs.

Personal choice! I hate sterotyping. Just because some say its bad does not always mean your dog will have the same issues. Most behavioral issues are due to improper training. Lazy owners get poorly behaved dogs, owners who truely take responsibility to heart usually have well behaved, loving dogs. Teach your dog the right way to be with you and you will love having your baby around you.

I don't let mine on the bed, mainly 'cause the snore, fart and kick. Eventually I would be pushed off lol.
It is an individual choice I think.

 

[Smokeycat]

I agree that it is a personal choice and independent for each dog. My EM doesn't sleep on the bed by his choice. I almost always have to tell my other dog to move. This is his favorite spot on the bed.

 

[AKBull]

Yup, personal choice. I don't mind my boy sleeping in the bed, even though most nights he'll steal my pillow and manage to take all the blankets so I wake up buck nekked and freezing my cheeks off... yeah why do I let him up there?? LOL

i vote personal choice

Our pup wants to snuggle with us and will pace the bedroom as soon as we turn in, asking to get up by placing her nose on us. If she gets up without an invite, she gets tossed back off. We normally give in by morning - we love the snuggle time, too, after all.
But, she is a worse cover-hog than the spouse!

I agree, it's a personal choice and I think it depends on your dog too. My Corso is very submissive to my husband and I, and we have no problem getting her off the bed when we tell her. In fact, when we say "Off" she happily stands up and wags her nub and heads for her crate. I love it when she sleeps with us, but she does kick, fart and she will eventually rest her face on mine....lol..it's too cute, but I can't sleep like that.

We tried - and my husband outlawed Medusa from the bed. She cuddled up with her back to mine, in between us, and proceeded to give him the old four-legged heave-ho right off the bed. He gave up and slept on the couch that night, but said no more, LOL!! She never has really tried pushing me out - just him. They like their crates, and she sleeps in hers with the door wide open, even at night. Drago is closed in at bedtime, but he's only 6 months and into destructo-mode right now. I say personal choice as well. When my husband had a heart attack almost 2 years ago, he was hospitalized for a few days. It left me alone with three small kids, and Medusa. She hated our staircase in our old house - but she braved it the first night he was gone to come to bed with me, and let me snuggle and cry on her.

Personal Choice, our lil man spends some nights in bed with us and others in his crate.... normally there is a farting contest between the border collie, lil man and the hubby.... Yankee Candle new scent "Fart"... gonna be a classic.

 

[Joeottobre]

Pullo is forbidden on the bed. That being said, when I took a nap this afternoon I woke up to find that he had crept quietly up and snuggled up to me.

Kind of hard to be stern when you wake up with your arm around your snoring dog.

Just remember, when they get older they get more protective. Do you really want protection at that 'special moment'?

We've let our EM sleep with us since we brought him home but we're beginning to regret having done so. He can hardly stand it when we get too close to eachother if he's in the room. He's used to sleeping in the middle on the bed and I'm positive he thinks he's suppesed to keep us from getting too close to eachother.

We've gone through that with our corso. There have been times when he has been allowed on the bed where he insisted on being between us, and a phase where if my wife and I hugged (standing) he would jump and hit me with both paws. HARD.

In both cases, swift corrections ended the problem. He can hang with us and still understand his place, which to me is a better solution than avoidance.

Camo gets invited on the bed with the rest of the family every night. He usually only stays up there for about 20 mins or so, then gets himself back down on his pad or the cool tile floor.
