Why won’t my puppy sleep in my bed with me any more? He has recently started jumping down off my bed to the floor to sleep under a table.

Many dogs get too hot in the night and want to sleep on the floor. Also if he's now bigger it may be crowded and he needs to stretch out. This is not a problem usually. I would place a mat under the table so he's comfortable and ask him up with you in the morning to snuggle. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Cooper.
