| Exercise Pen /or/ Own Room? I was getting ready to purchase an exercise pen from Amazon. Something similar to this... Zebra Pet Dog Cat Tent Puppy Playpen Exercise Pen Crate:Amazon:Pet Supplies The dogs do have their own bedroom. Still undecided if they will sleep with me. Should I just let them get used to their bedroom or start them off with an exercise crate.? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

| Because I have an open staircase I use a xpen. I got this one which is so nice Expandable Pet Pen Medium w/Floor Tray , as you can also get a top for it for the yorkies that can climb well :-) Gizmo got the top lol, I only put it on when he is home alone. It's also really nice because it has a tray underneath it that protects my wood floors :-) Last edited by Sunnydayz; 10-21-2013 at 03:24 PM. |

YT 1000 Club Member | We have a room upstairs with an x pen, toys, pads, food bowls, etc. Also have an x pen, toys, food bowls downstairs in the living room. When I'm downstairs both the dogs are too. When it's time to go to bed I put Rasta in his room upstairs and Roxie stays downstairs with her daddy. I trained him to use the bathroom outside but at night I dont go out after 9 so he uses the potty pads then. So I guess he's trained to use both.

Once they sleep with you, they probably will never sleep in their own bed, so make certain that's what you want. Mine both sleep with me...in their snuggle sacs. | |

| Mine would rather be in a playpen with/near me rather then in a room away from me.

| Our pups have their bedroom upstairs and ex-pen downstairs. The only ones that sleep in the bedroom though, are the cats. I would HATE it if they didn't sleep with me!

| I will place them both in crate and with me. They will learn both are okay. While of course taking them to place whenever they are potty training.

| My Hubby and I had to upgrade to a king size bed because it was too crowded with the 10lb Yorkie and the 35lb mutt in bed with us. Go with the bed it's so nice especially in the winter time I say let them in the bed. |

| Bonita have you ever had a problem with them having an accident in your bed? Oreo has slept with me once or twice but I'm afraid he will have accident since he is still just a puppy. |

When we got Billi we had a 3'x3' square pen area set up for her with her bed, food/water & a potty pad. It's sort of like her own room in our bedroom. Then we started letting her sleep in our bed about a month ago and since her spay, we've allowed her to free roam the bedroom. She's never gotten into anything she shouldn't, so we're fine with that. Still won't let her roam the whole house tho. She prefers just the bedroom. Don't think I'd give her her own seperate room in the house tho... She's rather be with us and we'd rather be with her
