person A: I'm trying to transition my dog into not sleeping in my room.  I know he wants to be by me and I can hear him whining and scratching at the door some nights
person B: That must be hard to do_comma_ he wants to be beside you. He is going to miss you.
person A: I know.  It's tough to hear but he needs to be a little more independent and sleep in his own bed too!
person B: Yes he needs to so you would have to ignore him at nights.
