If the dog sees you as a true leader, a proper Alpha, it should not expect to sleep with you. If you have crate trained properly then the dog accepts that the crate is where it sleeps. So far - you do not have a problem, everything is as it should be!
What concerns me is that you are concerned about this behaviour!
I suspect that you are are either over analysing the situation and you should, in fact, be very happy and proud that you have a well adjusted and naturally behaving dog....or
the dog is using this situation to manipulate you!
Do you have other issues with the dog regarding feeding, walking, off leash behaviour or having visitors to the house? Anything?
