Our dogs never sleep with us. They are happy enough sleeping on the floor beside the bed. They have great big pillows there that they lie on. We have chow chows and they are as stubburn as they come. When they were young I was concerned that they would be too rough on my youngest son as he was still small. They have a tendency to dominate areas in the house, the sofa, the bed etc. We researched a lot but could not get it resolved. We then watched Cesar Milan that you needed to exercise, play with your dogs and be firm with them about boundaries. You needed to be calm assertive and consistent with rules. This helped us a lot in all areas including not having them dominate the bed or the sofas in the house.
