While I might not be a vet or other expert, past dogs have taught me the following suggestions to the answer to your question:
Older dogs might not be able to jump up into the bed
For some dogs, even on top of the sheets, might be getting too hot, or a fan, air duct, etc might be blowing on them making them uncomfortable
Not enough room to feel safe on the bed because of other people.
The dog might have found a better safer spot, where it is comfortable, happy and warm.
Noises from snoring, fans, etc might startle them.

∙ 14y agobecause your bed gets hairy stinky wet and muddy and you dont want to have the dog in a bed if it has a disease because you could catch that disease. And still think about rabbies!
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.
The dog has probably buried something in it's bed and doesn't want you to find it. My dog does that quite often.
A dog will sleep wherever it is used to sleeping, but it is best to make sure the dog has a comfortable spot to sleep, and in the winter, a warm place.
In the dog world, the "alpha" sleeps higher than the rest of the pack, so it is important that the puppy be taught its place in the family and never be allowed on the bed or other furniture. If the puppy is already used to getting on the bed, temporarily place the puppy's bed in a small room or closet where it will have no choice but to sleep on that bed. (You might have to put up with some crying for a night or two.) Once the puppy is used to sleeping on its own bed, move it to where you want it permanently. Repeat the process, if necessary, until the puppy knows you are serious about it.
a dog sleeps on his back, at least mine does. He also gets under the covers of a bed in the guest room
Depends if its trained or not everydog can sleep on your bed if its trained and the dog trust you
First, try sitting in the dog bed and having the dog sit next to you. Show the dog the bed is OK and it is ment for them. If your dog is 'food oriented' use treats to persuade the dog to the bed and keep it there. :)
If it is a indoor dog get him/her a x-large dog bed and put it near your bedroom or even in your bedroom some sleep in the bed with you it all depends on how spoiled you want your dog.If it is a outdoor then get him/her a really good dog house and put an old blanket inside.Just remember when it is very hot or very cold the dog should come inside.
Your dog should get regular amounts of sleep. 3-6 hours is recommended. If unsure, call your local veterinarian for advice. A comfy bed will give your dog advanced sleep. Do fluff the bed regularly.
You can always help a dog bye donating money to your local shelter or even if you don't want a dog but want to help you can give a old extra towel or blanket give it to a shelter so a dog as a bed to sleep on. volunteer.
In a comfortable dog bed. Irecommend you bring your dog to the pet store [or were ever you're getting the bed] and let your dog pick out the bed.

Let it sleep on your bed for 1 to 2 weeks .
No. Because that is bonding and the dog will continue sleeping with you instead of it's own bed
On the floor in an extra-large dog bed.
Depends on how dirty your dog is. an old stinking mutt would now be the ideal dog to sleep with, but if the dog is clean you can put it in ;) keep on rocking the animal kingdom my friend. keep on keeping on
Who told you this? My dog sleep with me every night. They may have told you this because of them chewing on pillows and blankets or using he bathroom in your bed.
