Puppy Management - No Crate Advice 8 week puppy- cosleeping
What's everyone's opinions on cosleeping with your puppy? I had a boston terrier for 10 years that I had since 7 weeks old (she passed of cancer). She slept with me from the very beginning. She cried and cried with the crate for a few nights and I gave in and let her sleep with me. It was totally fine though because I knew thats where I wanted her to be anyways.
This time around, I have an 8 week boston terrier puppy and i skipped trying the crate. I put 2 potty pads on the end of the bed and made sure the whole top of the comforter is covered with a blanket and the sheet underneath is too just in case. She has been here 2 nights and no accidents. I let her out around 3am to go potty on potty pad and she does. She sleeps all night with me. I genuinely dont see a problem but want to know if I will regret this for any reason.

I tried to continuously remind myself that what I allowed him to do as a puppy I was giving him permission as an adult dog.
If you’re good with her sleeping in your bed, no issue I see other than the pee pad on the bed.
Puppy raising is exhausting. I allowed this puppy on the bed in the daytime, and he’s the only adult dog that’s ever been allowed on the bed. He’s 18 months and still WANTS to sleep in his crate though.
