Jetta was a struggle for sleeping in the bed at first...she would just want to play...I found that if I firmly told her to lay down and pulled her front legs down...and held her in a bear hug she would calm down...Bo loves the bed...it's interesting to see my husband, me and both dogs..and occasionally the cat if she is brave enough to all be in a little queen sized bed...lol..usually the dogs join me at 6am when my hubby goes to work...sometimes we just give up and back to the crate because all they want to do is play with each other and chew my hand...
