Stella really loved sleeping on our bed and as a larger dog, it wasn’t comfortable having her sprawled out at the foot of our bed. In one nite we had her trained to sleep on the floor by snugging up into her Dogslanding bed. She is very comfortable at nite in her bed and she liked it so much we bought a second for our couch downstairs to help keep her in one spot. She does not shed, but when we need to wash the bed, it washes really well, too.
