Sleeping with your puppy can form strong bonds, but it's essential to consider the puppy's age and house training status. For young puppies, it's often beneficial to wait until they're fully house-trained and can sleep through the night without accidents. To maintain a balance, start with the puppy sleeping in its bed near yours, gradually transitioning as appropriate for your situation. Always prioritize the health and safety of both you and your puppy in making this decision.
