How to stop my dog growling in our bed and use her own?

Question

My dog is super sweet & affectionate BUT she likes to sleep in the middle of our bed & if we try to move her or the covers she growls viciously & snaps at us. She has her own bed & pillow which she doesn’t care about. How to stop this & get her back to using her own bed? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkipoo | Female | 3 years old | 13 lbs

Do not let her into your room at bedtime. After she goes out for the last time give her a yummy treat or chew and put her in a crate to sleep in her bed in another room that you can confine her in. This behavior may get worse if you don’t stop it now. Please do not discipline her, it’s best to not let a confrontation happen by teaching her that your bed is not allowed ever, and she has her own place to sleep where she gets treats and her own space.
