We crated our lad for a while and he took to it no problem. After a while we started leaving it open at night and he'd sleep a bit in there and a bit in other places. Gradually he migrated to sleeping in our room and now has a bed at the foot of the bed. He'll usually hop actually into our bed and stay there until we tell him to get off. He'll give us a dirty look and then hop off and stay there for the night. Occasionally he'll go and sleep on my daughters bed. He now has three beds dotted around out two bedroom flat. One of thosw large fluffy donut ones in the bedroom, a smaller version in the hall and a bigger flat bed in front of the empty fireplace. He is the lord of all he surveys. Being a poodle he never smells bad or sheds so we don't really mind where he goes. He'll always find a place to sleep in the day closest to whoever is in (currently curled up like a cinnamon swirl on the bed next to my desk).
