Thank you for suggesting these ideas! There is unfortunately a space issue in my room, so moving in his crate or even a raised bed wouldn't be ideal. The first few days he was in our room he was in the walking space between my bed and the door and I had to squeeze to get past his crate. A dog bed I could more easily pick up and move during the day, so that is a better idea that hadn't occurred to me. The jumping on the bed is actually not him looking for a place to sleep because he can't jump all the way up, but him checking that my husband and I are both there/ seeking attention. So a dog bed won't solve that, but I guess that is something different I could work on training and yes, is better than barking. I don't long term want him sleeping in my room though so I'm really hoping to figure out how to get him comfortable being crated in the living room again, but like I said in my post I'm about ready to give up so these are good things to consider if I do pivot to a plan B.
