Why does my dog want to sleep on my bed?
It’s when they feel most secure and comfortable. No wonder they try to replicate that feeling of warmth and coziness with you even after they grow up! Your dog wanting to sleep next to you is also a sign of affection and closeness. It means they like your company and consider you a member of the pack.
Is it wrong to let your dog sleep on your bed?
If you roll over in bed and startle your pet, he may not intend to bite, but an unintentional bite hurts just as much as an intentional one.

Are dogs happier when they sleep in your bed?
