tell it to shut up.
It depends on your dog. If your dog kicks, rolls over or gets up in the night, you might not want to sleep with them. Try it out and sleep with your dog for one night. But your dog is one of the most comforting thing in your house and may put you right to sleep. A lot of the times a bigger dog will wake you up and wont really make you feel comfortable. Really it all depends on your dog if he wont wake you up in the night and he is a smaller dog id say go for it.
To train your dog to sleep with you at night, start by creating a comfortable sleeping area for your dog near your bed. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage your dog to stay in their designated sleeping spot. Consistency is key, so establish a bedtime routine and stick to it. Gradually increase the amount of time your dog spends in their sleeping area until they are comfortable sleeping with you at night.
Well, it depends on the owner for most. They tend to like the same schedules as their owners, so its normal for them to sleep when you sleep (night time) and wake you up when its morning. But each dog is different, so some prefer to sleep a bit during the day and nose around at night (not a generally good thing) and some sleep during periods of day and night.
one thing you could do is pet them to sleep it relaxes them
Try to wake the dog up. If the dog wakes up, it was just dreaming. If the dog doesn't wake up it is probably a seizure.
To train your dog to sleep in a specific spot, start by choosing a comfortable and designated area for them to sleep. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats or praise, to encourage your dog to go to that spot. Consistency is key, so be patient and continue to reward your dog for sleeping in the designated area. Over time, your dog will learn to associate that spot with sleep and will be more likely to choose it on their own.
There could be several reasons why your dog is unable to sleep at night, such as discomfort, anxiety, or a need for more exercise. It's important to observe your dog's behavior and consult with a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and find a solution to help your dog get a good night's rest.
You appear to have answered your own question. My personal advice would be not to sleep with your dog.

Dogs aren't much different than people when it comes to their toilet habits. Every night could be different for you and you may have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the washroom. The dog is no different. I paper train my dog as well as train them to ask out to the doggie run. The reason I do this is because if the dog has to urinate or has to have a bowel movement it's on the paper and easy to clean up and sanatize the floor after. DON'T EVER get after your dog for this! They don't want to wake you and even if they did nine chances out of ten you'll mumble for them to leave you alone. When a dogs gotta go, a dogs gotta go!
To train your dog to not sleep on the bed, you can start by providing a comfortable alternative sleeping area for your dog, such as a dog bed or crate. Consistently redirect your dog to their designated sleeping spot and reward them for using it. You can also use positive reinforcement techniques, such as giving treats or praise when your dog follows your command to go to their own bed. Additionally, you may need to be firm and consistent in enforcing the rule of not allowing your dog on the bed. With patience and consistency, your dog can learn to sleep in their own designated area.
Your dog, if left outside at night, can keep wild dogs away so that your animals will be happy in the morning, rather than unhappy from a wild dog at night.
