i have had my dog for 4 years and he just now started sleeping on his bed. You cant force a dog to sleep on its bed, of corse you can forcefull push him down, but that will just make him dislike it more. My dog loves to sleep by the fire, so we moved his bed over there. Now, he sleeps on it.

It's a 4-step progress to make your dog bed a comfortable and safe place for your dog to sleep.

1. Cover the bed with your scent. If you get a new bed he won't feel comfortable on it until it smells like you. It makes it a much less scary object.

2. Lead the dog to his bed with toys. If he doesn't want to get on the bed, that's OK for now.

3. Repeat step 2. This time, if he doesn't want to get on the bed, pick him up gently and put him on the bed. Lie down on the floor to show that it's a place for sleeping. He may or may not lie down with you. It's OK either way. Give him a treat to reward him for learning.

4. Repeat steps 2 and three, this time insisting that he lays down. It may take a bit of time, but eventually your dog will learn that his bed is for sleeping.
