| Did you put your new yorkie in the same room with your other yorkie? Did you put your new puppy in the same room with your other yorkie?? Or did you put your new puppy in another area? I am not sure how to go about crate training a second yorkie. I have been told not to put them together in the same crate because Summer would not like the puppy taking over her space. Do you think the same room is ok?? Summer has always slept in her crate in the laundry room ever since she was a puppy. Any suggestions on where to put the new puppy and her crate when she arrives????

| If they're in the same room they would, even in separate crates, be company for one another. Hugs Shirl x x

| For the first 3-6 months, I had each girl in their own ex-pen, in the same room and right next to each other. They each had their own food, water, toys, beds...When I was home and could supervise, I let them out in the same room together. When I could not supervise, it was back in the ex-pens. Eventually they became quite inseparable. When I saw them snuggling together, playing with the same toys and eating out of the same dish, I knew it was time for them to become roomates. Now, I only use the ex-pen if I need to keep them secured, such as when a repair man comes. Otherwise they have run of the living room which is gated off from the rest of the house. Enjoy your new little one!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I always put them in the same room and crate the new one when I am not able to watch them. The new one seems to settle down when she is with the others and the older ones will go sleep by the new ones crate.

| We did separate crates until Sammy was house trained and now they share one gigantic crate (they aren't in it a lot - just when we leave the house for more than a few hours). They seem to be fine with that.

| For the most part, they were always together. Luckily, I was home all the time (for the most part) for the first few months.
