My Experience Is Slightly Different. Harvey Is 1 Yr Old Now And Sleeps In His Crate In The Kitchen, He Has Done This Since He Was First With Us, At 8 Weeks Old, (though For The First 4 Nights He Slept With My Daughter - Until The Vet Told Us We Should Start As We Meant To Go On).
Luckily Harvey Is Out Of The Crate At All Other Times Except During The Night And Though He Doesnt Love His Crate - He Goes In No Problem And Never Cries. At First He Cried For About 1 Hour Each Night For About A Week, Then He Must Have Realised He Was Staying In It, No Matter What - And So Gave Up The Crying. It Was Heartbreaking Though Listening To Him, But Now I Know It Was The Best Thing For Him And Us. We All Need Our Own Space At Times.
We Also Cover The Crate - Just Leaving A Small Opening At The Front - For Air.
Good Luck With Your Little One - And I Am Sure Thing Will Get Better For You. |
