Many dog ​​parents have a headache, that is, their dogs always want to sleep on their owners’ beds. It’s okay for petite dogs to sleep with their owners. But if a dog that looks like a Great Dane wants to sleep with its owner, it won't be a great feeling. So why do dogs love to sleep next to their owners?

The reason for this situation is actually very simple. This is because pet dogs stay in the puppy stage for life in many aspects. So even adult dogs see their owners as pseudo-parents; it’s natural to want to curl up next to their “mother.” In this case, "mother" is not necessarily the hostess. If the dog is closer to the male owner of the family in normal times, then the male owner will become his "surrogate mother" and the person he hopes to sleep with. Regardless of whether it is the male owner or the female owner, if one of them sleeps with a dog in his arms every night, it will definitely bring trouble to the marriage, and in serious cases, it may even lead to the breakdown of the family.

Many dogs, even if they are strictly trained and are not allowed close to the bed, still want to get as close as possible to their "group" when sleeping. The "group" here refers to the wild environment. When puppies are left in a kennel, they will of course sleep huddled together. Only when the dogs have driven her away enough will she sleep alone away from the dogs.

So, similarly, if a dog is kicked out of his owner's room every night, he will feel like he is being kicked out of the "pack." Of course, if it were a group of guard dogs or a group of hunting dogs, there would be no such problem because they would keep each other company. However, if it is a pet dog living alone with its owner, it will find it difficult to understand why it has to avoid and separate from its "partner" when it is time to sleep.

In this regard, it is recommended that most dog-raising families find a compromise solution: of course the dog cannot sleep on the bed, but let it sleep as close to the bedroom as possible, or on the edge of the bed. In this way, the dog may be protected from excessive "psychological trauma" every night.
