Celebrity dog trainer Tom Davis shares on advice on what you should think about before letting your puppy sleep on your bed.
Any dog owner knows their pup loves hopping up onto the bed, but is it ok to let them do so?
Expert dog trainer Tom Davis says it is ok to let your dog sleep on the bed, but there is a potential problem that owners need to make sure to avoid.
"My answer is, it doesn't really matter as long as you can get your dog off (the bed) when they are older," Davis told NBC Local.

"Making sure that you can (say) 'get off,' or 'down,' and that your dog will actually do that so that you don't have a fight when they are 100-plus pounds," Davis added.
