My dog won't sleep on my bed anymore. Do you think it's possible that he is annoyed that I wake him up when I have to get up for school at 6:00 A.M.? Is there a way I could teach him that it's o.k. to sleep in my room on the weekends?

You can try putting him in your bed on a weekend night, and see what he does. He might even just wake up at 6 A.M. anyway, because he's so used to it.

I think that the dog bed in your room is a good idea. That way, he can always sleep in your room, yet not get woken up on weekday mornings.

Or just don't let him sleep in your room. When you want him to sleep in your room leave the door open, but if you don't want him in your room close the door.
