Once you've made the decision to transition from a family bed into separate bed (room) s, you may want to introduce a lovey if you haven't already: a blanket, or stuffed animal (be sure that there are no choking hazards like loose parts or button eyes) that can be
introduced into the bedtime routine.
That way the dog has an opportunity to be
introduced slowly
into the group, to have time to play, to eat and drink, to relax and settle before
bedtime.
