After about 1 minute of inspecting the new bed, our dog hopped right in and wasn't coming out.  She already has 2 other beds around the house, and this brand-new one was her clear favorite.  She curled up, nestled in, and that was that.  At bedtime, I literally had to chase her our so I could move it into our room because there was no way she was going to choose her old bed that was already in there.
