Call your veterinarian and ask if it's okay if you go there once every other day or so, and just sit in the waiting room. Bring a treat you know he loves. Sit in the waiting room until he calms down and take the treat(s), then leave ONLY when he's calm and relaxed. Don't leave when he's anxious. If the veterinarian and the people who work there are okay with it, make them come and give him treats, praise, then leave. He should soon come to feel like this is a place where he gets treats and attention. At home, work with him on getting his teeth checked, his ears and the rest of his body. Once he's comfortable with this, put him on a table and continue the work there. The floor and a table can make all the difference in whether a dog is comfortable or not. Good luck!
Where does your B sleep?

I guess I'd better not let Alex see this thread; he sleeps outside in his dog house on the patio. Unless it's cold outside, then he sleeps in his dog bed inside the house.
Don't feel bad. Mine both sleep in their crates in another room.

I could never trust my Bs outside alone for too long…afraid they may have too much time to figure out an escape route
My two sleep wherever they want but their fav spot is on THEIR couch and at night they must got to bed in their crates C3PO hates that because he'd rather sleep on our bed but Topaz doesn't mind...she's sleep anywhere as long as she can SLEEP...what a lazy dog!

Our princess Trixie sleeps in our bed under the covers. She switches between right by my husband and right by me but she has been in out bed since the night we brought her home. I know big mistake but I would'nt change it for the world!!

My husband and I love it that Sahara sleeps in our bed. She is our baby girl, and keeps us warm.

When I first acquired EL D he couldn't handle the crate so I left him sleeping in the kitchen in a doggie bed. The first time I let him have full run of the house and was going to bring his doggie bed in the bedroom. Yeah right - as soon as he walked in the bedroom he was up on the bed - and has never left :p:

kip sleeps in his basket at the bottom of ny bed but if it is cold he snuggles up to me in my bed

Jamie sleeps in her crate mostly, shes 6 so she has gotten quite used to it. On special occasions my wife and I let bboth dogs in the bed. In that case, she sleeps either between us or in the bend of my legs until she gets hot then she will work her way to be lying against my side, feet straight up in the air, snoring, and making my wife and I laugh until it hurts!!

I caught EL D snoring a couple of times - at first I thought there was something wrong with him - first time I ever heard a dog snore!

We once had a basset hound that snored so loudly that we wouldn't let her sleep in our bedroom.

Goober sleeps by my feet. I don't know how he stands the smell. It also gets annoying when my wife and the other dogs pile on the bed and the restless leg syndrome is acting up.

My girls has always been able to sleep with me since I got her. She has 2 dog beds in the bedroom and there is also a couch in there as well. Sometimes she start out on the couch or one of the dog beds but almost always ends up in the bed under the covers by morning. Sometimes at bed time she is a bit frisky even with an evening walk, I will give her a chewy treat which she will work on until she get tired and goes to bed. Now she is 11 yrs, there are not too many times she isn't ready for bed when I am these days, but she will look for something to get into when she isn't ready for bed if I don't give her something to get her busy.

All three pups sleep in bed with us. We bought two double beds and stuck them togeather so we could all fit. It's still crowded.
My next dog IS going to sleep in a crate!
