So, essentially, I get woken up every night because my dog wants to sleep in our bed.

It's hilarious how we know exactly how we're training our dogs but we're powerless to stop.
One of our dogs has learned to cry at the top of the steps when we're downstairs watching TV. She's afraid to go down the stairs. So to make her feel better, I go upstairs, scratch her ears, tell her things are OK, give her a dog cookie, and then go back downstairs. Amazingly, she hasn't stopped crying at the top of the stairs.
