It took me ages to become pack leader so I really sympathize. You may need major puppy school or invest in a personal trainer which is so well worth it- don't forget you have years to go and it will only get worse if you don't nip it in the bud. My dog STILL falls asleep and the SECOND I get into bed, walks over to me and whimpers,licks and stares at me (brat) The can of pennies and magazine techniques work well. My dog just wants constant interaction so by my sleeping, it means no attention. I make him go down, pat his head once and as long as he's up against the bed or can see me, he's ok but it took a LONG TIME, with me almost crying from frustration. Lots of luck and patience !!!
