My two boys sleep in my sisters appt. where they have a doggie door to go out and the poodle sleeps in his chair and the chihua/terrier has his crate he sleeps in. The door is always closed to the sewing rooms unless I am there. When I am there Chihua/terrier sleeps on a pillow in the sewing room. The poodle still lays in his chair and just comes to check on us from time to time. He was a rescue and I think someone was not very good to him. His chair is sort of his safe place
