Gordon has never slept in our bed. He sleeps in his crate next to our bed, and he has to be able to see us. He goes in his crate when we get ready for bed. At first he only slept till 5:30 am, but this morning he slept in till 7:30.
I always heard that once they sleep with you , that it is hard to get them to sleep in their crates.
Gordon is 4 months and he was easy to crate train.......first night he whimpered about 15 minutes , and then tapered off each night till he stopped whimpering all together.
I have always put a few treats in his crate and put a favorite small toy in his crate for him. He also goes in and out his crate during the day...when he wants to take a break.
I would try starting all over with the crate training.
