Grrrrrr

We have the same rule--no dogs on the bed, but it has an exception clause. They can be invited up. They have been taught not to just jump up on the bed at will. They sleep on blankets and doggie beds scattered around the house. When we want to snuggle with them, they get invited up and can stay on the bed. Maybe Toby can get special invites to cuddle in the mornings?

Yeah, I never let Finn on the furniture until he was about four or five months old. And, that was only because my roommate at the time kept letting him up on his couch. But, when I moved here into my parent's home, Finn doesn't get up on the couch at all anymore. And, I, about a week or so ago, decided that in order to make his training all around more successful, I wouldn't let him sleep in the bed with me anymore. I feel like I've noticed a change in his walking on the leash already. So, it's worth not having the cuddles like I'd gotten used to.

The first weekend of the new regime was quite a success - Tobey didn't seem to mind being in his basket. It was by my side of the bed so I could still tickle his belly! Maybe I was projecting how I felt on to the situation........Tobey didn't seem the least put out and we still managed lots of cuddles too

That's great news! Thanks for the update! :D

Since last post Tobey has got us well trained! He has a comfy new basket next to warm pipes and only jumps on the bed in the morning when he knows I need a cuddle!
