The english bulldog puppy and the "first night home drama", the crying and howling, may be greatly reduced by first taking some precautions. In first place, we can take his pen to our room, so he won't feel alone. Calming words and pets are allowed, but don't allow him/her to jump into your bed. Coherence is fundamental for a good owner, and once authorized it lasts forever. As small puppies owners usually fall in this temptation allowing them to sleep at their beds. It starts when they are puppies, and normally continues when they are adults. And, if the dog is clean, why not? In any case, this use should not produce psychological harm to the dog. Therefore, don't let them to get beneath the blankets, or very close to the owner's face (overprotection problems could arise), and by no means can we allow him/her to be the lord of our bed. The dog's owner must be sure he can make the dog go down when he wants, and to go to his place. If not there could be a "separation anxiety" problem that produces aggressive or destructive behaviors when the animal is alone, or he cannot make the bed his property.
