Since I wash all the blankets ALOT on this bed, I don't know if he'll ever be able to have & keep a really nice quilt on the bed without it showing wear. I usually just put a nice one on this bed when I have company & then go back to using an old one for everyday use.
I wonder if something made out of heavy fleese would work as a bedspread to cover up the bed with first & tuck in between mattress & box spring & then the old blankets for the dog to make his nest out of?
This would be my suggestion as well.

It sounds like your son does not want to train the dog off the bed - I don't blame him, I wouldn't either. It's a personal preference and he isn't doing anything wrong by letting him stay there.

Making up the bed for daytime should just include blankets that are designated for the dog, rather than going for the pretty. It's not like he's there to see it while this is going on anyway. :wink:

How big is the bed? I am thinking, a sheet of plywood, keep under bed at night, lay on bed during day. Thought of this as I have a sheet between my mattress and box spring.

Why can't he crate train the dog for when he goes out? My lab loves hers and goes in it by herself when she hears the car keys jingle. She can't destroy anything or injure herself.

Can't he shut the dog into the kitchen or the bathroom?

I know they sell footies or boots for dogs. Don't know if the dog would keep them on, but that might work. Otherwise I would suggest a dog kennel.

I would put the dog in a crate during the day.
