I made a compromise with Charley. When we're at my house he goes to bed in his crate (with the door open). Around 4 am he'll ask to come up (sticks front paws up on bed, whines, then sits on the floor.) and sometimes I say yes and pick him up (he's too small to jump up on his own), sometimes I say no and he goes back to his crate. At my boyfriend's he sleeps in his crate at the foot of the bed with the door open and is more than happy to stay there for the night.
While he wouldn't chase my boyfriend out of the room, he used to chase the cats off the bed, and that is not a fight I wanted to fight in the dead of the night. By telling him no more often that I said yes he learned that the bed was mine and who ever I wanted up on it was going to have to be ok with him otherwise it was back to the crate.
