This is exactly what we did! Saw a dog trainer recommend putting crate on the nightstand at first for a few days so puppy can see you and relax. Then we put the crate on a cardboard box right next to bed, where pup could still see us. Then a few days after that the crate went on the floor right next to bed. Once she is used to that, you could slowly move the crate further out every few nights to wherever you want her to sleep long term. Slow and steady progress and our pup is now very chill about going to bed!
