You have received some good advice and some terrible advice. Anything which involves punishment (hitting) is wrong wrong wrong.

The scat matt is a good idea because you aren't doing the consequence. You could also put mice traps on the bed which will scare him as well as balloons under a sheet with thumbtacks taped to them so they pop when he lies on them.

You are wise to start four months before your child is due. Be diligent; expect it to take several weeks or more. Be consistent. Reward him whenever he is not on your bed. This means have treats nearby so that you can instantly reinforce his positive behavior.

You could also train him not to come close to your bed. Be diligent. Don't let up! Never hit.

How do I teach my dog to stay off the bed?

You can tell him no very firmly and make him get off the bed.

You can put one of those plastic mats with the bumps on the back up there (bump side up) he won't like how it feels and will eventually learn to stay off the bed.

Or you can get what is called a scat mat, which is a plastic mat that you can put on the bed and it gives him a little jolt every time he jumps up there (think a 9-Volt battery on your tongue -- it doesn't hurt, just startles him).

Also, maybe you can get him a bed to sleep on that is in your bedroom, so he can still be close, just not on your bed.

Good luck!

He may cry and bark at 1st but have toys handy that he is allowed to play with and get him either a crate or his own bed and put it next to yours so he feels he is getting the better deal in the situation.
