It would also interfere with 'interpersonal relations'! Even a kiss and cuddle can cause doggy excitement and a battle to join in

How do people who are in relationships cope with a dog in the room?

This made me

I have GOT to work out a way to stop them sleeping on my bed. Before I had a futon and that wasn't a problem as it was on the floor, but now they want to sleep ON me (that annoying thing where they have to lie down as close to you as its possible to be). I know they love me but I've not had a decent night's sleep in about 2 years!

When i first meet my deceased partner and her dog, when we made love, the dam dog jumped on bed barking and being nasty. She thought i was attacking her master..lol.

Of course the thing is not to let the dog be in the same room when one makes love .

Our whippet always sleeps on the bed, the girls sleep wherever they want but usually in baskets in the bedroom.

I broke all house rules when I got my latest dog. She's a tiny toy Manchester Terrier and when I first had her last July I put her bed on my bedroom floor for her to sleep near me, but of course I knew deep down that this wouldn't happen. She starts off on the other pillow (I'm single but have a double bed) and when she gets a bit chilly she creeps down under the bedclothes.

Do you mean by not letting them sleep in the room in the first place or do you put a "Do not Disturb" sign on the door?

All those who advocate dogs in their rooms / on their beds: Are you all singles?

I don't have a dog now but when I did, he definitely wasn't allowed in the bedroom. He had his space for sleep-time; I had mine. There was plenty of time for togetherness during the day and evening without taking it into nighttime as well. It worked very well for us!

I suppose it often depends on whether the occupant is on his/her own at night! I wouldn't want a dog witnessing bed-time romps if I had a fella in there with me, so I'd not encourage the dog in the bedroom in the first place.

Not all dogs moult.

Poodles/Doodles don't moult that's why I need to bath and clip my doodles every 6 weeks and brush them with a slicker brush every blooming day lol.

I don't mind doing them myself - I don't trust Poodle parlours to cut them how I want them cut - I don't want my Doodles Poodled plus it's a good bonding time. It takes all day mind. My giant Labradoodle Labradoodle/Labradoodle hybrid takes forever to wash, dry and clip but he's worth it, he's such a good boy. My Springerdoodle is a doddle to clip as her coat is soft and silky.
No! Got a labradoodle and to say they don't malt is not true. Yours may not, but mine does. Not as much as say a Labrador or Retriever but there is still a lot of hair around!

The ex's Collie once came in to the room during sex and jumped up behind me to go to sleep. In the process he pressed his really cold nose onto my bum. We had no idea he was there and it scared the crap out of me! Killed the mood completely as he was an older dog that grumbled if you tried to get him off the bed so we stopped and didn't push him off.

Single now but as a couple we had the dog on the bed a lot of the time. It's very easy to create time alone if needed, just throw a treat and close the door!
