Do not continue the training if your dog shows any reluctance towards moving their safe spaces. Take a step back and continue observing their behavior.
Ensure your dog is in a clam/settled mood before attempting to restructure their routine.
Routine = calm big changes can cause stress.
Dilated pupils, pacing, vocalizing and growling are all good warning signs.
Other animals
Other animals can learn to have designated sleep/play/relaxing spaces just for them.
Bunnies, cats and ferrets are capable of learning commands but will require more (slow) action than words.
